Leaving a gift in your Will is an amazing opportunity to make a final gift to God and an important part of Christian giving, and leaving a gift to your church is a way to thank God for all the blessings you have received in your lifetime. This will make a lasting difference to the future of Walmsley Parish and its ministry and mission in our local community. No matter how big or small, every gift in every Will can make a significant impact. God bless you!
If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact Allan Hopkins, Team Council Lay Chair, on 01204 305807 or email allanhopkins9@gmail.com
If you would like to make a gift to church in memoriam, please discuss this with us too. It can be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one.

1 Corinthians 13 – New International Version
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
