Christian Giving Sunday 7th March

Lent is a time of challenge and renewal. One of the challenges presented is to reflect on our giving to the church and to charity. The Church of England General Synod recommends a figure of 5% of disposable income for donations to the church. Increased giving to St Thomas Becket would mean than rather than have just about enough to keep the church running more could be used to support specific activities.
Please think too about the Mission projects the church tries to support. However hard up we think we are, there are many people a lot poorer than ourselves!

Please note St Thomas Becket does not receive any money from the Kirchensteuer and is entirely dependent on freewill donations!
