AGM – Monday 3rd March at 7.30pm.
War in Sudan: Amidst a brutal conflict, millions of people across the country of Sudan are homeless and facing the threat of famine and death. More than 1 million have fled across the border to South Sudan, a country hit by the worst floods in decades. Christian Aid have launched an appeal to provide shelter, food and hygiene kits for those fleeing the war. Our mission committee met yesterday evening and agreed to send £1,000 immediately to Christian Aid to help with their relief work in Sudan. If you would like to contribute further, you can send a donation to the church office or leave an envelope in the collection plate marked Sudan Appeal. Thank you.
New After-Church Coffee/Tea Rota: We would be grateful if you could volunteer to serve coffee/tea after church for one Sunday. Currently we are doing this on the last Sunday of each month, and the months of March, May, August, October and November still need to be filled. If you can pair up with someone this would be most helpful. There are sign-up sheets in the vestibule. Thank you.
