Giving
“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
Thank you for your generosity!
As Christians, giving is our response to God’s amazing grace. Generous giving blesses others and supplies the needs of God’s people, it is also an act of obedience and trust – in doing it we are saying that it is God, not ourselves or anyone else, who ultimately provides for our needs. Giving should never be forced or grudging, but rather voluntary and cheerful!
We are grateful for each gift no matter the amount or how the gift is made, however if you’re part of St John’s Studley, and in a position to give financially, we would love for you to consider setting up a regular, monthly gift.

Legacies
Gifts from legacies can make an enormous difference to the life of the church and the impact on our local community. See the Church of England’s website for more information.
You can include the church within your will by the addition of a straightforward clause, using the following wording:
“I give ____% of my residuary estate free of all taxes to the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Studley St John, Trowbridge (registered charity number 1160751) in the Diocese of Salisbury for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an officer of the Parochial Church Council shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors and trustees.”
