Challenge

relies entirely on its members to fund it.
We have to fund all expenses for the parish including staff

who happens to be there.

£100 that would £12,500 '

The Bible recommends that each person gives 10% (a tithe) of disposable income to charity. The Church of England recommends that half of this tithe, 5% of disposable income, should be given to your
church. |
