DID YOU KNOW?…………… “as a church we face an imminent financial crisis.

Reserves will be totally exhausted by the end of the year - 2010 - and without significant additional income we will have no choice but to reduce ministry, direct costs of which represent approximately 75% of total expenditure.”
Treasurer’s review in the Annual Report Year ending December 2009

• Ministry costs are the contribution the church makes to the Diocese for the clergy and their housing.
• We also pay the day to day costs of our clergy carrying out their duties in the parish of East Leake, - duties and services for which we are all very grateful whether on a regular basis or occasionally, in our lives.
• Without sufficient finances, St Mary’s Parish Church will be unable to fulfil its Mission to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to others.
Please think about how we might strengthen the financial basis of the church and how you can help in doing so.
