CHRISTIAN
AID WEEK 11th – 17th May:
I
would like to give you three reasons to think about becoming involved: 1) Our
Lord gave us a clear message that we show our love for him when we give our
time and talents to the poor and those in need of practical support. 2)
Christian Aid week is a way for Christians to show solidarity to the community that
we can and do work together in Christ. 3) It is an opportunity to make a loving
connection with neighbours, including those you do not already know. Please
phone Chris Breen on 632836 if you can help.
Thank you.
