Christian Aid Week

12-18th May

 

As attendance patterns vary we have decided that the envelopes for Christian Aid Week will be available in church throughout May. We will also support this year's appeal by having a box in church for old ink cartridges and mobile phones, which Christian Aid can recycle. Please contribute in whatever way you can.
