We must keep our churches open
We've responded to the crisis by serving our communities: raising money for hospital staff welfare; making hundreds of virtual visit telephone calls; distributing meals, staying connected with online services; and sadly helping people say goodbye to their loved ones.
But we must make sure that the churches stay open and we need your help. It's something we can do together, please can you make a monthly contribution? It completely changes the prospect of your church staying open and serving the community. The government will add 25% to your contribution. We can stay open with your monthly giving, thank you!
Contact your treasurer for bank details to set up a simple standing order or call the Parish Giving Service (very busy right now) on

Why talk about something good?
Life gives us cause to celebrate
and we want to share good times...
...like starting a lifelong relationship, celebrating years together; moving into a new home; or the arrival of a baby
Why talk when something goes wrong?
Sharing difficult times is an act of kindness, because life sometimes brings us pain. A broken relationship; illness; losing someone we love; struggling to manage conflict with others
Sometimes it's at the most difficult times that we feel God is closest to us, because that's when we know he understands our pain
