Giving
“Praise be to you, O Lord.
Everything comes from you,
and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”
(1 Chron 29)
We believe that giving is not just about money. But nurturing and growing our shared life and vision does require money. Christ Church Dore does not receive any regular funding from outside agencies, nor from the Government. Our income comes from the generous giving of church members, from our own pockets. Some of it can be Gift Aided, which helps enormously. There are a variety of ways to support our ongoing ministry in the local community, our contributions to needier areas within the Diocese of Sheffield, and our mission partners in poorer parts of the world.
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS)
The PCC has endorsed the introduction of the Parish Giving Scheme, a safe and simple way to support the work of our church using the security of a direct debit guarantee.
Under this scheme the tax paid will be reimbursed, typically within 18 days, on regular monthly donations with gift aid. This will be much quicker than the current rather cumbersome procedure that only happens quarterly.
The scheme is supported and encouraged by the diocese and operates throughout the Church of England, with the benefit that the diocese will bear the costs. Yes, of course, there are costs, but if you give £100, Dore Church will receive £100 (and an extra £25 with Gift aid).
With your permission, it is possible to arrange for your donation to be protected from inflation. If you choose, PGS will calculate the difference and notify you each year in advance to ask if you are happy to increase your gift by the cost of living.
You may change your instruction at any time, by phone, e-mail or letter. You can find out more by following the links to the PGS website where there are helpful pages and also animations.

PGS will go live from now. Steve & I will be available at the end of services to answer questions and help you to plan the changeover. I hope you will agree that this is a sensible choice for our donations.
