Joining our Electoral RollIf you’re a regular church attender and 16 or older you may become a member of our Church by filling in this Electoral Roll Application Form – and making the declarations on it or contact our Electoral Roll Officer - ashbournechurch@gmail.com. The Electoral Roll is simply a “Church Membership” list and entitles you to a vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting at which the members of the Parish Church Council are elected. Your Money"Each of you must give you as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance…" 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 Regular Planned GivingIf you can support us financially then regular giving via a Standing Order helps us to plan tax efficiently, as does using the yellow envelopes in the pews. Or you can give to our building project here. Whatever you can give, however large or small, will be greatly appreciated, and further increase in value by 25% if you are able to gift aid it. This leaflet on Planned Giving has more information and a form to complete. One off donationsThese are always most welcome. Cheques should be made payable to "PCC Ashbourne" and and sent to The Rector, The Parish Office, St Oswald's Church, School Lane, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1DN.

This leaflet on Wills and Legacies explains a bit more about how you might do this.

We make our lives an offering, our time, our money and our love.
