A New Year dawns! Once again, thank
you for every gift given or pledged: we may not have gold, incense or myrrh but
so many of you have drawn near to Bethlehem with generous hearts.
The word
"generous" has a whole variety of meanings but it includes depth and
richness of colour, such as the colour purple we had for the season of
Advent.
All methods of Giving remain available but the Parish Giving Scheme (Direct Debit) will soon be making it
possible for people to sign up directly online; more details to follow in
the February 2021. Also, most importantly,
if you are experiencing financial hardship or mounting debts please seek help
through organisations like Stepchange https://www.stepchange.org/ or Christians Against Poverty https://capuk.org/

Quick And Easy Giving:
You can now donate online by clicking the donation button below:
If you buy goods or services online, please look into signing up for
Give-As-You-Live
and
Amazon Smile
. They make a real difference to us, as each time you buy something online the company you buy from donates to us, without costing you anything! The amount that companies donate to us varies widely from
0.5% of your spend to as high as 10% on special days so it really is worth doing!
Give-As-You-Live
works at most online stores, utilities, and services (e.g. Hughes, booking.com, BT, Sky, ...), and is very easy to use as once registered you simply shop as normal. When using Amazon, it's best to
use
smile.amazon.co.uk
instead of amazon.co.uk (it works the same way as Amazon). For both services, when prompted to select your charity, choose "
Kesgrave Church of England Charity
" to support our youth work, or
"Kesgrave Parish Church Trust
" to support our general work. Please sign up for both services if you are able. With thanks in anticipation!
GIVE AS YOU LIVE FOR FREE! For
anyone that performs web-searchers or shops online from Amazon, eBay, John Lewis, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and many
other subscribing retailers, there’s a new way you can give more to All Saints Church without it costing you a penny! Simply register with http://www.giveasyoulive.com/howitworks and perform your web searches or shop
via their page.
1%-1.5% of the value of purchases
then come to All Saints, and every few web searches raise 1p (it soon adds up!). This works on
computers or smart-phones.
When choosing your Charity, we suggest you choose our “Kesgrave Church of England
Charity”, which means that funds
can be used for regular costs such as youth worker and parish administrator. If you choose instead the “Parish Trust” the money instead goes into a permanent endowment where only the interest can be used by All Saints.
If you use the web please give this a try- it’s so easy and every little makes a difference! Many thanks for
your
help.
For any enquiries about Give As You Live please contact John Wittgreffe
