2025 BUDGET: CHALLENGE AND RESPONSE

THE YEAR AHEAD

It is great news - We are very close to being able to start the year with a balanced budget that will allow us to do many of the things we believe God is calling us to do as a Church in 2025.

The difference between income and expenditure is a shortfall of £13,000.

In order to fully balance the books and achieve a break-even result we need to increase our giving by 4% overall.

WHAT NEXT

Please Pray

For the PCC, the clergy, and staff as we continue to seek to know what God wants us to do as the Church.

For ourselves as we consider what we should be doing in the Church.

Then, if you are able - Give

Can you increase your regular giving by at least 4% or make a one-off gift?

Or start giving for the first time?

Or consider adding a legacy to your will?

Finally, please respond

Tell us your intention, by completing the online response form:

(Alternatively there is a printable pdf version of the response form).

Paper copies of the form are available from the church office, or email: office@stpb.co.uk
