'EXTRAORDINARY GIFTS'

'EXTRAORDINARY GIFTS' is our 'Gift Service' on Sunday morning, 28th November. We will be receiving monetary gifts from which we hope to purchase 'extraordinary gifts' from the Methodist Relief & Development Fund (MRDF), e.g. equipping an open air classroom in Tanzania (£30), providing a safe hostel place for a street child in Bangladesh for a year (£13), buying a gardening kit for a group of farmers in Uganda (£40), and helping 20 people with HIV/AIDS to get back on their feet by giving them a year's supply of enriched flour. We hope you will feel able to support this special form of Gift Service.

The service will also include the annual presentation of awards to JMA collectors - Junior Mission for All.
