It takes a lot to run and maintain our churches.

We have 2 ways to support our giving.
You can support us with direct debits through the Parish Giving Scheme or via one off card or apple / google pay HERE.

General Funds: The General Funds covers the cost of the day to day running of our churches.
This includes our utility bills, insurance and parish share.
We also use money from this fund for general wear and tear maintenance for both our Churches, such as replacement lights etc.

SJB Fabric Funds: SJB Fabric Fund covers the cost of the Fabric maintenance and upkeep of St John the Baptist, Stone.
Raising money for the Facilities has taken over for many years and the Fabric fund has been static with very little in it.
Now we have a lovely kitchen and toilet we need to bring the Fabric fund back up again for projects such as paths, exterior lighting and stonework repairs inside and out.

SPP Fabric Funds: SPP Fabric Fund covers the cost of the Fabric maintenance and upkeep of St Peter and St Paul, Dinton.
Recent projects that have been covered by this fund include, replacing the flagpole, installing new lighting and repairing the church roof.

SPP Organ Fund: SPP Dinton has a lovely pipe organ which is in need of a major overhaul.
This involves dismantling the entire instrument, cleaning every pipe inside and out before painstakingly rebuilding it. Apart from regular tunings and any emergency repair work, this overhaul will keep this organ playing for another 50 years.

SJB Coffee Cup Collection: St John the Baptist run a Coffee Cup collection each week after the service.
Although refreshments are free, we do accept donations which we then donate to local charities. Every 2 months we choose a new charity to support. Any donations made to this fund will go to the current charity of the month.

Hartwell Graveyard: Money raised for the Hartwell Churchyard fund will be used to pay for the upkeep to the graveyard at Hartwell.
