GIVING

Regular giving is an important part of our Christian Life. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor 9 v 7). It is important also individually to review giving regularly to make sure our giving is inline with Gods plans for us as a body. The expenses to run the church and to pay for ministry increase in the same way our cost of living does yet our regular giving does not always increase likewise. Recently the Stewards and the IMC finance team produced a document about giving setting out clearly the situation at the time and explaining how we should be praying about our giving level click here to read, a well thought out document, also attached to it are the forms you need to tell us of regular giving and to gift aid if you wish too. Please remember the Youth Vision Fund explained below which pays for our youth work and youth outreach. Contributions to that should be separated from giving to the church although it is part of  church activities.

Youth For Christ which also operates from the church is completely separate and although the church helps to support Youth for Christ it is a separate charity with its own administration including doing its own fund raising

At Ivybridge methodist church giving for our youth worker (whose contract also includes oversight of the children’s work) is done through the YOUTH Vision Fund. If you wish to make a gift to the Fund contact Andrew Phillips on phillips_a@hotmail.com or Phone 01752 894828. Alternatively if you download the giving document above there is a form to give to the fund attached to that.

If you wish to give or update your giving generally please contact Andrew Lawrie whose email is andrew.lawrie@talktalk.net or complete and return the form (with or without gift aid) attached to the giving document of which there is a link to above. By Gift Aiding your giving the Church will be able to reclaim 25% more from the Government. You can of course just put money in the collection but regular giving helps the church to budget its income.

Thank You.
