"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
- 2 Corinthians 9:7

You can support St Margaret's through monthly giving here. This is called the Parish Giving Scheme where you can register - it is what we use at St Margaret's for our regular givers and it is the most efficient way for us to manage our finances.
