Christian Aid Week  13 - 19th May
This year Christian Aid Week focuses on its work in Sierra Leonne, and in particular on a town called Gbap, where our partners (Methodist Church Sierra Leonne) help smallholder groups with tools and machines and a processing plant.  Whole communities have been revitalised: they are properly fed, all the children go to school, and village committees work together to help them enjoy a new life.  To support this and much more work by Christian Aid in 47 countries, please help by active participation in as many of our special events as you can.  These include:
 
1) Sponsored Walk from St Michael’s Church, 1.45pm on Sunday 13th May  Our representatives, Alan Courtney and family, can be sponsored by signing one of the sheets in Church or with Alan himself. 
2) Cake Stall at Boyes’ Store (Cross Street entrance), 10.00 am to 4.00 pm, Tuesday 15th to Saturday 19th May  Cakes (and other home produce) can be given at the stall or by arrangement with Ruth Penny who opens on the first day.
3) Retiring Collections at all our services on 13th and 20th May  Envelopes will be available for gifts and Gift-Aiding, which adds 25% to your contribution. 
4) Quiz Night at the Friends Meeting House, 7.00 pm on Friday 1st June  This includes live music and a buffet supper.
5) Christian Aid Concert at Westborough Methodist Church, Friday 15th June  It features the Singing Vicars, St Augustine’s Choir and Orchestra, and the mysterious Magic Mike.

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in God.
They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
