Sponsor a Tile.....

.....Raise a Smile

St Mark's is an important symbol of the presence of God to the many thousands of travellers who pass it every day, and those who worship in it every year. So it is important that we preserve the fabric of the building to continue this vital symbolic work for present and future generation of worshippers and travellers.

At the moment the Church roof is being repaired. Work has begun, but it is expensive – some £60,000. However, it would be more expensive if left any longer.

What is needed?
The simple answer is money.

How can I help?
Initially we are asking members of the congregation and on the electoral roll, readers of Winged Lion and other members of the local community to sponsor a roof tile for £10 each. You may, of course, sponsor more than one tile if you wish!

What do I get?
To show appreciation the names of the sponsors are to be written in a book to be kept in church. If you wish, your sponsorship may be to mark a special occasion – wedding or christening, anniversary or memorial – and this will be included in the entry.

And how have I raised a smile?
First, by maintaining the fabric of the church building it continues to give hope and cheer to those who use the church and those who travel past it every day.
And, by taking an extra few seconds you can sponsor one and a quarter tiles for the sponsorship of one tile. By Gift Aiding you can help us reclaim 28p in every £ that you donate. This will mean you have the choice where your tax goes – to the Chancellor, or to the chancel roof. Does that raise a smile?

If you feel that you can help, please contact the Rector
