General Information and other options
We are very grateful and would like to thank all those who contribute towards the cost of keeping our four village churches open. It costs around £80,000 annually to keep our four churches open. This includes general, regular maintenance but not the major, irregular work required periodically and associated with all old buildings. As well as our regular services, the Church is available for those who wish to be married, baptised or hold a funeral. The Church is extensively involved with our two village schools and provides pastoral care for those in need. They are also used by a surprising number of people as places for quiet reflection and contemplation.
We currently raise 86% annually of the £80,000 required and we would like to say thank you and congratulations to all those who contribute. In a group of villages of around 2,000 people this is a significant achievement.
Regular Giving through PGS ( Finstock only)
Another option to Online Giving (above) is the Parish Giving Scheme offered through the Diocese of Oxford. The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is a direct-debit facility, providing a professional, effective donation management system to support parishes in funding their mission and ministry. Further details relating to the PGS are available by clicking here. Please contact Mrs Kirsten Ireland, Finstock Church Treasurer, for further details on 01993 868634 or email Kirsten by clicking here.
