We no longer pass around a collection plate but gifts can be placed in a plate at the back of church and we also have card readers. Details of how to donate are described below.
Please email stewardship@thru-christ.org.uk if you would like any help to set up regular giving.
Parish Giving Scheme
Our strong preference is that gifts are made via the Parish Giving Scheme (“PGS”).
PGS is a well-established service for managing one-off and Direct Debit giving and is specifically designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry.
By managing all administrative aspects of giving, including the making of Gift Aid claims on behalf of St Mary's and St James', PGS reduces the burden of work on church staff and volunteers enormously. PGS provides a simple and secure service to givers which gives you full control over your giving. All regular gifts made via PGS are free of charges and St Marys and St James' respectively receives 100% of the gift.
