- Doing your bit
No such thing as a free lunch...
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that hiring the building from Trinity, paying for all the consumables we use, maintaining the choir equipment, paying for food for the shelter, and many more things besides, all need to be paid for.
We have a vision at MCC to see the church expand and be a safe haven for all where they can grow in grace and explore their relationship with God. We hope you share this vision and are able to contribute. But more so - chat with one of the ministry coordinators to see how you might be able to help with or otherwise support the church's various ministries. Many hands make light the work.
Remember - regular giving from your bank is the best way. We need to plan finances to enable us to use them effectively and pruidently, so knowing the money is coming in and hasn't been forgotten this month is a real help. Direct Debits are the best way of ensuring this. Also, GiftAid allows us to reclaim income tax back on the money you give, so don't forget that too. Jesus tells us, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's," ...if Caesar chooses to render back, who are we to complain!
Advice on financial giving should always be sought from an independent financial advisor.
HM Customs & Revenue provide information about giving to charities which includes gift aid.
Regular giving by standing order
We would encourage you to take out a regular standing order and submit to us a gift aid declaration that enables us to reclaim tax from the inland revenue. All your donations are gratefully received and are used for the ministries of the church.
Included here are PDF documents that can be obtained from the Church Treasurer. You may need to download Adobe Acrobat to read the documents. There is a download button on the left-hand sidebar.
