How Can You Help At St Laurence`s
Time
There are many ways in which the skills and time of the people in our church are used and we give thanks for that generosity. If you want more details contact our churchwardens.
Giving
There are costs that we need to pay and these are mainly met by people freely giving in thanks to our God. Again we give thanks for this generosity.
We encourage committed regular giving mainly through the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). PGS enables giving by Direct Debit on 10th of the month and reclaim of Gift Aid, where applicable, later in the month.
Historically we have encouraged giving through bank standing order or our envelope scheme and we continue to welcome giving in these ways.
For tax payers, under the Gift Aid scheme, we can claim tax which has been paid on any giving to our church.
Giving Review
Every 2 years or so we encourage those who care about St Laurence`s Church ministry, mission or buildings and grounds to consider how they may help with their time and their money. So this provides an opportunity to look at particularly how we put the money we have to God`s glory through this church.
We had a Planned Giving Review in 2024 under Building Together.
Friends Of St Laurence`s
The Friends Of St Laurence`s Church help in specific projects in church and churchyard to look after this beautiful ancient site in Scalby village.
