Church's £12k gift to causes at home and abroad

Thanks to the generous giving of parishioners in Peasedown St John, St John’s Church has given away another £12,000 this year to local, national and international causes.

- 

The congregation follows the biblical principle of giving away the first 10% of its income each year in a bid to practise what it preaches.

This year £12,000 was set aside for the church's Mission Giving Committee to make decisions about where the money should go.

Over the last 14 years, St John’s Church has distributed a staggering £139,000 in charitable giving.

In the past 12 months the committee has received applications for funding and financial assistance from a range of organisations.
