Giving
Giving is our response to God’s amazing genrosity to us - which we see in his grace, love and forgiveness. Giving should be voluntary and cheerful: St Paul says,‘Let each one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves a giver whose heart is in his giving.’ (2 Corinthians 9:7).
At St Michael’s, we want to serve God by serving our local community and we do this through many projects and activities, as well as helping one another to encounter the love of God in Jesus Christ.
You can give financially - either on a regular basis or as a one off donation. No contribution is too small - have a look at the story of the Widow's Mite found in Mark's Gospel.
HOW CAN I GIVE FINANCIALLY?
1. STANDING ORDER / REGULAR GIVING
The most helpful method for us and a convenient way for you to give is by regular standing order.
We encourage you to pray about the amount you would like to give to support us, set it up, and let your bank take care of it each month. Please use your name as the transaction reference.
If you would like to give in this way, please contact the Treasurer for the church’s bank details.
Alternatively, you can complete a standing order form at church and put it in the offering plates during one of our services.
2. ONLINE GIVING
To give via card or standing order online, please visit our online giving portal here
3. CHURCH SERVICES
If you prefer to give in person you can fill out a yellow envelope (available in the Welcome area) and place it in the Donations box during one of our church services.
If you have any queries with regards to your giving please feel free to contact us.

HOW CAN I GIVE THROUGH SERVING?
There are many ways in which we can give of our time and God-given talents. Here are a few:
Reading the Bible passages in a Sunday service, leading the Intercessions (prayers), singing in the Choir, welcoming people as they come into church, being part of the refreshments team, helping with our Children's Ministry (subject to satisfactory DBS & Safeguarding checks), helping to keep our church garden tidy and flourishing, and many many more!
