Support the work of St Mark's
St Mark’s church members generously help towards funding the church with their time and talents as well as their financial giving. It cost £1300 a week to maintain the work of the Ministry, Worship and Mission in our church. The rest of the financial support is achieved through fund raising from organised activities and contributions from visitors to our beautiful building.

Leaving a gift in your will
Here at St Mark’s Natland we welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small, and we promise to use your gift to make a difference in our parish.
Our PCC Legacy Policy is to use gifts to help fund significant development projects, whether buildings, equipment or mission.
Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to leave a gift in your will for the general purposes of the parish rather than for a restricted purpose. We will discuss possible uses of your gift with your executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest in the church whether it is music, buildings, children and youth, overseas mission or aid, and the church’s priorities at the time.
You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to our future mission and ministry.
We will acknowledge gifts in whatever way the donor and/or their executors feel most appropriate to. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if the donor prefers.
If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your gift with you.
If you would like to make a gift to our church in memory of a loved one, please do come and discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one.
