Stewardship
Welcome to the Stewardship page!
All Saints has never needed its members to contribute their monetary gifts, their time and their talents more than it does now. Join this community of people who are doing what they can and giving what they can to the Lord.
Below you will find news, background material, and a form to make your pledge.
News
Youth Worker Programme
During the services on 8th and 15th January, presentations took place explaining why a youth worker is so desperately needed by All Saints. The presentations explained what a youth worker would do and answered many of the questions that most naturally arise. There's a copy of the leaflet describing the programme below (under Background Information).
Stewardship Sunday 2012
Stewardship Sunday took place on 22nd January. The presentation was based on the Bishop of Oxford's leaflet Giving - A Simple Guide. You can see a copy of the presentation below (under Background Information).
2012 Pledge Packs
Every pledge pack this year contained a copy of Giving - A Simple Guide. It also contained an explanation of the church's needs this year, and pledge and standing order forms for our General Fund. Also, because of the launch of our exciting Youth Worker Programme, the pledge packs contained pledge and standing order forms for the Youth Worker Fund. Note that money for the two funds is going into two separate bank accounts so it's important to get the right one! All these forms are shown below.

Glossary
This is a (voluntary) register of people who regularly attend All Saints church. Nobody is automatically entered onto this register, but only people who are registered on the Electoral Roll are entitled to vote on matters arising at the APCM.
How our giving-envelopes are distinguished.
White envelopes are for those who wish to donate their regular pledged amount, placing it in the collection plate during a service. The envelopes do not display any personal details or require any details to be filled in week-on-week but are given a number for gift aid purposes where appropriate. White envelopes are available on request.
Yellow envelopes can be used by givers who already donate regularly to the church by another method (eg standing order), so they can make an ad hoc donation during or after a service (such as a retiring collection). Like white envelopes no personal details are displayed on the envelope and no details need to be filled in but the envelopes are numbered for gift aid purposes. These are also available on request.
Blue (used to be green) can be used by anyone to make an ad hoc donation to allow us to claim gift aid. They require the date and the giver’s name and address to be filled in for gift aid purposes. These are found in the pew holders.
Theme focus on Giving
Christ is God's gift to us; and all that we have in our lives comes from God as free gift. The Christian life therefore is a life of giving, as God gives. Stewardship helps us explore this and challenges us to look again at what and how we give to Christ of ourselves and of the resources at our disposal.
Here are some sermons on giving and Christian use of money.
