A thank you note has been received from The Royal British Legion for the Church’s contribution to their Poppy Appeal in November. A total of £37.70 was given by congregational members who bought a poppy from the box provided on the vestibule table.
A letter has been received from Christian Aid thanking the congregation for their kind donation of £135 being the collection from our Candlelight Carol Service.
An excerpt from the letter reads. "Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We work globally for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality. We provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes. Your support enables us to continue our assistance to poor communities through partners in over forty countries around the world. " Margaret Boden, Chief Executive, Christian Aid Ireland.
