What are the Current Needs?

Supporting Our Church's Ministry

Our giving appeal seeks to address a shortfall in our church finances and sustain the ministry at All Saints'.
We are very grateful for the generosity of many in our church family, and we invite everyone to prayerfully consider whether this might be a good moment to begin giving or to review your giving, in support of the work of the gospel among us. 

To help us track the progress of this appeal, please let us know how you will respond by taking a moment to tell us:

As has been mentioned over past months, everything we do as a church is funded by members of the congregation, (apart from approx. 5% which comes from hire fees for the Youth Centre) and we are very grateful for the faithful giving of so many. However, our current monthly income does not cover our monthly outgoings, and we are reliant on dwindling reserves to cover our expenses, month by month. The difference between outgoings and income is, on average, £350 - 400 per week. The largest item of expenditure is the Common Fund contribution to the Diocese which is used to fund parish clergy and their accommodation, safeguarding, legal, mission training and support with property and other management.

Please prayerfully consider whether you can start giving regularly towards our costs or, if you already do, increasing the amount. For details of the ways in which you can give to the church, see the links below.

Johnny’s contract as our Assistant Minister finishes at the end of June and he, Hannah and the family will leave a gap in our fellowship and ministry team. Please pray for God’s guidance and wisdom as we consider the way forward for the church’s ministry and wisdom for Johnny and Hannah as they seek God’s guidance for their future ministry.

The recent 5-year survey of the church has shown that the roof will need to be replaced in the coming two or three years. We have some approximate figures, but further work is needed to establish costs to insulate and replace the roof.

Please pray for God’s guidance; what is His calling on us as fellowship and individually.
