We’re so grateful for every gift given, both today and in the past. St Andrew’s has always had an incredible spirit of generosity for which we thank and praise God. We appreciate times are tough for many financially and now may not be the time to increase your giving. We don’t want anyone to feel guilty, but to rejoice that God has called us together to share our resources.
Giving is an act of worship in response to all God has given us. We begin speaking about giving by focussing on God and the abundant generosity God shows to us in creation, life and through the gift of his Son, Jesus.
To support the work of the Parish of Dibden Churches (St Andrew’s and All Saints’), you can donate in the following ways.

And finally…
We rejoice that God has moved so many people to generosity in the past at St Andrew’s and All Saints’ – we have a wonderful legacy of a generous church who have been generous with their time, gifts and money to create St Andrew’s Church and Centre and all that flows from it. We give thanks for our current church family and our online congregation, who give today to contribute to God’s mission here.
We encourage you to consider prayerfully what you can give. We are extremely grateful for any gift, large or small, and the PCC has the responsibility of making sure the money given is spent in the best possible way.
