Giving - is part of our worship. We want to continue to pay our staff, our bills and support our local community and our cross-cultural workers. We are now also paying rent on three buildings. The Bear Church bank details are 'Deptford Ragged Trust' HSBC Account no. 21361317 Sort Code 40-02-25. To support local people in food poverty through the Evelyn Social Supermarket please give to the general pot - it's less admin and therefore less costly. Money-related questions to Tracy at finance@thebear.tv
The Ragged Project Fundraising
Worship - download or stream Dave's new songs and raise money for the Project. Link is here: https://linktr.ee/davidwinter
We are 94% of the way to funding our new building. That's a few % up on before, but we're not yet where we need to be. A large proportion of our funds have come from personal contacts. Please continue to have conversations and sow seeds - who knows what might grow? If you need any facts and figures, or publicity resources, contact Bex or Richard. For the glory of God and the good of the poor.
