A message from the Dean Stephen Hance:
God is at work among us. We have made progress towards our financial goals but continue to run a deficit. We work hard to grow our income from the cemetery, from building rentals, from investments, and from stewardship. Some of us give a lot. Some a little. Some don’t give anything at all.
If you already give a lot, thank you. Please keep going and consider if you could do even more.
If you give a little, thank you. Could you take another step on the journey of generosity? From 2% to 3% of your income, from 3% to 5%? Jacqui and I have always sought to give 10%. Could more of us do this?
If you give sporadically, could you give regularly through pre-authorised giving?
If you haven’t left anything to the Cathedral in your will, could you consider doing that?
And if you don’t yet give anything at all, could you start? Not just because you care about this place. But out of gratitude to God for his work in your life.
Thank you for your support and prayerful consideration.
