Giving

to St. Mary’s Church

We could not fulfil our vision, without the generosity of so many people who provide their time, talents and financial support to the life and ministry of St.Mary’s Church.

Regular giving helps us to plan our mission and ministry and special appeals help us to support those in time of need.  

 

Here is a summary about how you can give to St.Mary’s Church: 

Regular Giving

Regular giving is our recommended method of giving as it helps us to plan and sustain our ministry.  If you would like to give regularly, please can you consider doing this through the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) - a simple system of setting up a regular donation using direct debit. You can also Gift Aid your donation - Gift Aid makes every £1 worth £1.25 to St.Mary’s Church funds.

Further Information on the PGS scheme and how it works.

  • There is a St.Mary’s PGS leaflet that provides information about the PGS scheme and how you can use it.

  • There is also a PGS gift form which can be printed off as required. (Please note that on page 3 of this form that the PGS Parish Code is ‘WOOD’).

  • There are also more details on the PGS web site about how the scheme works, including a couple of short film clips.


One off donations

One off donations to our church funds can be made as follows:

ONLINE

  • using the link on this web site to the secure ‘Give A Little’ donation page. You can choose a £5, £10, £20 donation using the boxes or your own amount.

  • using the ‘One-off Gift’ option’ on the Woodchester page of the Parish Giving Scheme web site. You can use a credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay to make your donation. You can also Gift Aid your donation - Gift Aid makes every £1 worth £1.25 to St.Mary’s Church funds.

IN PERSON (in the church)

  • on our offering plate at a Sunday service (on the table at the back of the church - we don’t pass the offering plate around during the service).

  • using the wall-box just inside the main door of the church.
