Christian Aid Week 2024
Our church supported Christian Aid this May again by holding a virtual Duck Race. Including proceeds from a Lent lunch, the amount raised for Christian Aid was an amazing £4,124.
This year, with Christian Aid week now coming up on us (12th to 18th May)we are launching our fundraising appeal for the charity and beginning to turn our thoughts to the stories behind the money that are the reason that we make the effort every year.
This year we are following the story of Aline Nibogora, from Makamba Province in Burundi. Aline has experienced abuse and extreme poverty but she has found ways to persist in faith, hope and love. During Christian Aid week itself we are hoping to share some devotional material with you all alongside Aline’s story.
We are also delighted that Christian Aid have provided us with a preacher for 12th May. Richard Baker, who is an accredited Methodist Lay Preacher, will be with us that Sunday as we focus on the appeal and the week ahead.
As many of you know we are no longer able to do door to door collections for Christian Aid which was the major fundraising effort.
You can donate to by emailing our Treasurer treasurer@wilmslowurc.org.uk
