One of the really important ways that each of us lives our faith and participates in the mission of the Church, is through the act of giving.
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS), which allows donors to set up regular a Direct Debit to their church or parish, is an easy and secure way of donating to your church, and they have now made it even easier. Once the church is registered, donors can now set up their donations via the PGS website, as well as via the telephone line (0333 002 1271, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm) and the paper forms, which are available from your PGS parish rep.
PGS also creates a dedicated page on their website for each registered parish, drawn from A Church Near You, and gives you a dedicated web address and QR code, which the parish can use on its own website, posters and newsletters to help make regular giving even easier.
There are many other reasons that PGS can be helpful for your parish and securing your finances, and being a free service is even better.
If you would be interested in registering your church or parish with PGS, or would like more information, please contact Chris Boden, your new Stewardship & Resources Officer: cboden@cofe-worcester.org.uk.
