By cheque: payable to St Peter’s PCC.
By text: Text SPET77 and the amount to 70070
By cash: use the envelope in the pew and place on the collection plate. In all cases, if you are a taxpayer, please gift aid your donation.

A Vision for St Peter’s

Earlier this year Kip spoke about ways of supporting St Peter’s, in particular thinking about our buildings and the way they can and are being used for taking forward the church’s vision. Some of the things he suggested included joining the planned giving scheme; making a one off donation towards a building project; leaving a legacy; being involved with setting up a Friends of St Peter’s; perhaps offering a skill such as DIY, cleaning, gardening … the list is endless! Do speak to him or one of the wardens if you can help.
He ended his talk with this prayer:-

O God, make the door of this house
Wide enough to receive all
who need human love and friendship;
Narrow enough to shut out
all envy, pride and hatred.
Make its threshold smooth enough to be
no stumbling block to young or frail feet
But rugged and strong enough
to turn back the tempter’s power.
May this church be, for all who enter,
a safe place and the doorway
to a richer life in Christ.
