If you could also register with the www.sanctuaryfoundation.org.uk  as we have registered with them as a church also. Thank you.
 

Our Legacy Project
Blessing others as we have been blessed
 
The people of Christ Church have always embraced opportunities to use our resources to reach out to others. The recent redevelopment of the office and the Church building was purposed to underpin this vision for a generation to come.
 
Continuing on this theme, the PCC has recommitted to complete the original objectives of the redevelopment project, and to raise the last of the funds needed to enable the Church to be “debt free”. Included as a key objective of the project is that10% of all personal gifting for the redevelopment should be used to create lasting legacy projects which bless others.
 
The many relationships that Christ Church already enjoys will form the core of our focus to become recipients of our legacy funding - and projects that enable others to learn of God’s word, to grow in faith and to have a long lasting kingdom impact are our mission.
 
A huge thank you to all those of you have given over £1million towards the project, the last Gap is £150,000 that we would like to raise in this Easter season and if you would like to join in with thanks for all that God is doing through us the link is: www.christchurchware.co.uk/giving
 
If you would like more info on giving please do talk to Sam Rich our treasurer and for more information on the legacy project please do contact Steve Elliott (team leader) via the church office.
