Giving at St Simon's 

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.  2 Corinthians 8:9 

Why do we give?

A Christian gives generously, joyfully and sacrificially in response to God's amazing grace.  Jesus give everything for us so that we might become eternally rich with him. 

As God's people we long to see others receive his grace through Jesus and grow in that grace.  So, we give regularly to the work of the local church to make that happen.

At St Simon's, the majority of what's given goes towards funding our paid gospel workers (vicar & staff), regular church activities and building/maintenance costs. Each year we also give 10% of our income to support gospel work around the world. 

God encourages Christians to give prayerfully and regularly.  Whilst planned giving is preferable, not everyone's income allows this, so you can give in a number of ways. 

Ways to give 

Regular giving through the Parish Giving Scheme.  This way helps us to claim back Gift Aid efficiently and is the easiest and most convenient way to give, both for you and for St Simon's. You can sign up to give via the Parish Giving Scheme here.

Using a legacy. In planning our legacy or writing a will, we should pray for God's guidance.  We all have different priorities for family, friends and good causes that we would like to support when we die.          

For many of us, if may be appropriate to include St Simon's church as one of our beneficiaries.  If so, please include 'St Simon & St Jude with All Souls Church, Southport' when writing your will.
