We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the financial resources God gives us. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 9:7 that we should decide in our hearts what to give, that we should give without compulsion and cheerfully. It currently costs some £300k annually to run St Luke’s; if you wish to contribute to the work and mission of St Luke’s we would be delighted for you to setup a regular standing order.
