August Offering
On 1st August we will take our next offering towards an Emmanuel ‘Community Fund’. This money will be used to support projects/works initiated by those within our church that engage with our local communities.
An example of this is a Kids Club that should start in Greenwich from Sept. as well as numerous other activities that those in the church are involved in.

The money goes towards church planting, caring for the poor, and strategic initiatives to advance the gospel, particularly in some of the poorest places.  We will be joining with 6-700 churches in taking this offering and hoping to raise over £1 million.

The idea is that instead of making a direct payment with your booking, you give your money into Sunday’s offering.

Although we have provided a guide price for the weekend, we would love you to consider if you could give more in order to help meet the costs of those cannot afford to meet the whole cost themselves. Equally, if you are unable to meet the whole cost yourself please do come and put in what you can afford. 

We would love everyone in the church to come on this weekend and definitely don’t want money to be a barrier.

The suggested costs are as follows:

Whittaker Lodge (catered) £85 for Adults, £20 for children

Camping (also catered – all eat together!) £60 for adults, £20 for children

For further details on the weekend contact us on info@emmanuelchurchlondon.org.  

In line with this we are asking those committed to the church to prayerfully consider what they might give this coming year and communicate that by way of a pledge. We will also take up an offering on that day that will contribute to our financial reserves and greatly aid future cash flow.

Regardless of your current financial situation, this is a great opportunity to flex the faith muscles and make a significant difference to Emmanuel’s capacity to impact and influence Greenwich and beyond.

Thank you again to those who already give sacrificially to the advancement of God’s purposes through us as a church.

If you have not received a letter or would like to know more, you can contact the office on info.emmanuelchurchlondon.org and we’ll reply asap.

 ’When you called to tell us about the money back in November we were in the middle of a core team meeting. It was very exciting to hear of your donation and we were able to begin praying about how to use it immediately! We often hear of needs but are rarely able to respond by buying new things’

So far some of the money has been spent on beds for a family escaping domestic violence in Charlton and the rest will be used soon!

If you have the facilities to give online, you can find information and an online giving form here.

If you would like to give cash, please contact us in the church office.

Also, if you were planning on buying a real Christmas tree this year, you may want to consider ordering one from ‘Caring Christmas Trees‘ , the proceeds of which also go to ‘The Jericho Road Project’

October – £8800 to the New Frontiers ‘Kenya Crisis Fund’

November – £454 to the Besom project in Greenwich

Thank you for your continued generosity
