“Contactless Giving”
Today, we hear a lot about the Cashless Society, and many people do most of their spending using either a contactless card or their mobile phone. To help those who seldom use cash but wish to support All Saints’ financially, we have installed a contactless facility. It is placed near the main door and we would love to receive your donation to God’s work at All Saints’, either as you enter or as you leave. Any gifts given this way are completely anonymous. The only information we receive as a church is the amount given and the date. Thank you Andrew
