Giving During the Lockdown
Offerings to God
“Now I will write about the collection of money for God’s people. Do the same thing that I told the Galatian churches to do: 2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should put aside as much money as you can from what you are blessed with.” 1 Corinthians 16:1-2
In a time of reflection, we are asked to consider the giving of our time, talents and money to God. Although we are meeting to worship on zoom, our on-line services don’t allow us to just drop some money in the collection. You will know that our income has been badly affected by covid-19, so if you do have a few pounds to spare, please consider donating to the church either by cheque or by BACS to

Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is an organisation which receives regular giving on our behalf and then passes it on to us, including the Gift Aid on behalf of taxpayers if appropriate. The majority of our regular givers use this method.
The PGS has just informed us that it has now set up a new telephone service to accept monthly payments from people, e.g. envelope users, who are currently unable to use their envelopes by handing them in during services.
Anyone interested in finding out more, and perhaps in following it up, should call the PGS on 0333 002 1271. If you decide to make use of the service, you will need to have the following information at hand:
- Your personal bank details
- Our parish name: “Quarrington”
- Be able to tell them whether or not you pay tax
- Tell them our parish code: 210 621 235
Please do not hesitate to contact David Pursell by e-mail at to get information or advice about any aspect of our giving.
Just Giving
We have also set up a JustGiving page for raising money to get our chimes going again. We have actually raised enough to do this, but have kept the page open so you can still give if you wish. The money will be used for the continuing maintenance of the church. The link is below
St Botolph's also runs a 50/50 club. For £12 per year, you are entered into 12 draws per year (i.e. monthly) with the chance of winning prizes of £20 first prize and £5 second prize.
Everybody is welcome to join, so if you are interested please contact us on
