<\/h3>\n

\u201cAnd whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.\u201d (Colossians 3:17)<\/em><\/h3>\n

How to give to St Mary’s Church<\/em><\/h3>\n

1. Regular monthly giving<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most convenient way to give is by a regular monthly payment which you can set up via your online banking. Please contact Jean Mitchell (stewardship@horshamstmarys.org.uk) for our bank account details. If you are a UK taxpayer, please complete a\u00a0Gift Aid Declaration Form<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>or ask her to send you one, so that we can reclaim an additional 25% on your gift.<\/p>\n

or<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use this Donation and Standing Order Form<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0with your bank\/building society. Once completed, the form can be sent confidentially to our Stewardship Officer, Jean Mitchell or dropped at the Church Office mailbox at the address below.\u00a0 She will record the details and send the form to your bank. \u00a0\u00a0She will need the original with your signature.<\/p>\n

Please also complete a\u00a0Gift Aid Declaration Form<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>if you wish us to claim gift aid on your donation and send with your completed standing order form as above.<\/p>\n

2. Donate Online<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also make a single donation via credit or debit card online.\u00a0 This will process your payment via this secure ChurchSuite Donate link<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and we will be able to reclaim the Gift-Aid if you are a taxpayer and tick the Gift Aid box at the time you donate. \u00a0Please note, there is a fee attached to this type of giving (2.2% plus 20p), which will be deducted from any donation made.<\/p>\n

3. In Church<\/strong><\/p>\n

You also can give at any of our services by putting money in the box or plate at the back of Church or using touch card donation machine at the back of church. \u00a0If you want to add Gift Aid, please put the money in a giving envelope and complete the details.<\/p>\n

4. Leaving a Legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Not everyone can afford to support the costs of running the Church when they have commitments for raising a family or providing for retirement, but one valuable way we can all support the ministry of our Church into the future is by leaving a legacy in our Wills.\u00a0\u00a0 Details of how you can do this can be found in the following leaflet:\u00a0\u00a0Leaving a Legacy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a05<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>Gift of Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have stocks and shares in an investment account, you can donate these for the benefit of St Mary\u2019s and avoid any capital gains tax that may arise as well as qualifying for full tax relief on the value of the gift. \u00a0\u00a0This is a very tax effective way of giving.\u00a0\u00a0 Please note that investments held in ISA\u2019s or Pension Accounts are not eligible for gifting.\u00a0\u00a0 If you would like to find out how to do this, please contact the Church Treasurer (treasurer@horshamstmarys.org.uk<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n
