Extension of our regular giving• fundamental part of giving

We teach proportionate giving • extension of St Paul’s teaching

Generosity and Sacrifice• for it is in giving, that we receive

Christian Giving

Called to exercise Godly Stewardship

“For all things come from you, and of your own

we have given you.” 1Chronicles 29.14

A Simple Part of Good Stewardship

Theological Reasons

Stewardship – Will Writing

“Watch out! Be on your guard

against all kinds of greed: a mans

life does not consist in the

abundance of his possessions.”

Luke 12 .16 – 22

“ Each man should give what he has decided in his

heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2Corinthians 9.6

A lasting gift to God • not to pay the bills

The largest gift to God • a gift that costs nothing

Mission & Ministry

St Paul’s, Tongham

A legacy left enabled the parish to part-fund a full-time Children’s and Families Worker with the security

of sufficient funding for several years.

All Saints’, Lightwater

A legacy left to by parishioners Frank and Hazel

was used to make a joyful sound as the newly-

restored bells ring out their greetings.

St Luke’s, Watford

In Memory of Joyce
