Collection of Toiletries and Nappies for the International Meeting Point:
Once again the mission committee are appealing for toiletries, baby wipes and nappies (any size nappies). Shampoo or body wash for adults or children are
also welcome. These gifts are really appreciated by refugees who have so little
to manage on. They can be delivered to the Walter Nelson Hall this Saturday 5th April when we will be holding a coffee morning for this event. Come along and enjoy a time of fellowship together. Thank you. (The Mission Committee).
Leprosy Mission Sunday: Our Leprosy Mission Sunday will be held next Sunday 6th April this year. We are delighted to welcome their communications director, Mr. Stephen McCartney as guest speaker. Leprosy Mission envelopes are now available in the pews, and we will also have some boxes in the foyer for any loose change that you may have at home. It has been a difficult year for the Anandaban Hospital in Nepal which suffered damage from mud slides. Thankfully work is well under way to repair the hospital and the road access. Thank you for your on-going support to this important overseas mission.
