\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the really important ways that each of us lives our faith and participates in the mission of the Church, is through the act of giving.<\/p>\n

While there is joy in the spontaneity of a one-off gift when the Spirit moves us, it is regular giving that offers a prayerful expression of faith in action. Regular giving sustains our church and helps us to plan for the future. That is why Christ Church with St Mary\u2019s is a member of the Parish Giving Scheme (P.G.S.)<\/p>\n

The team at P.G.S. makes it safe and easy for you to give regularly, and just as safe and easy for our church to receive them. Every pound you donate can be put to Christian service in your community, free from time-consuming admin for your church staff and volunteers. There\u2019s also an option for you to increase your gift annually to keep pace with the rising cost of living, with the peace of mind that you can adjust your donation at any time if your circumstances change. If you are a UK taxpayer you can opt to add Gift Aid, increasing the value of your donation by 25%, which PGS will collect from HMRC on our behalf and return to Christ Church.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How do I join the PGS?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now, with the addition of a simple and secure online process, there are three easy ways to donate to your parish through the PGS; you can set up your Direct Debit online, by telephone, or you can fill in a gift form and post it to PGS.<\/p>\n

If you would like to make use of the new online service from PGS, you can simply visit https:\/\/www.parishgiving.org.uk\/donors\/find-your-parish\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Our parish code is 050605176<\/span><\/b> and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n

Or you scan the QR code below, which will take you straight to this parish\u2019s landing page on the PGS website, where you can click on the \u2018Give now\u2019 <\/strong>button. It couldn\u2019t be easier.<\/p>\n
