Stewardship

St Christopher’s Anglican Congregation on the Costa Azahar

Churches in Spain have to be totally self-supporting. They have to pay the wages of vicars, together with travel, office and telephone expenses. IT’S NOT LIKE THE UK. WE DON’T GET ANY MONEY FROM THE DIOCESE

So we have started a Christian Stewardship scheme. In that way we can rely on regular contributions, enabling us to budget our expenditure, just like you do at home. Please, PLEASE can you help us?

STEP 1: After consideration and prayer, decide how much you can give regularly each week or month, and then commit yourself, by completing the Form below.

STEP 2: Decide whether you want us to re-claim Tax you have already paid in the UK, and whether you wish to pay by Banker’s Order, or by using Stewardship Envelopes in the collection plate. Tick the appropriate boxes.

STEP 3: Send or give the completed form to Mrs. Brenda Beech. She will then provide you with the appropriate Bankers Order or Stewardship Envelopes if you’re a local worshipper, and help you fill in the forms.

Thank you for helping us to continue doing His will on the Costa Azahar.

Please pray that all our work may be pleasing in His sight, and advance the coming of His Kingdom.
