Stewardship

An introduction
Paul Adams, Stewardship Officer

My role is to help, encourage and challenge each one of us to think about how we give and why we give. Our giving is a discipleship issue. I am very happy to come and talk with clergy, treasurers, PCCs and congregations about giving issues.

Reimagining the Offertory

For many years churches have passed round a bag or plate during a service to collect offerings of money. It is probably fair to say that the reasons for doing this are little understood by the average congregation.

Heritage Lottery Fund

Parishes seeking sources of funding for Church Projects should consider the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Recently, Stuart Hobley the Development Manager for the HLF in the East of England briefed parishes in our diocese. The slides from his workshop are available for download (.pdf 6.5Mb).
