Charity Appeal Christmas 2020
The Kirk Session has decided that we will only have one designated charity this year for our Christmas Charity Appeal. We will be supporting the overseas charity Christian Aid and urge you all to consider giving to our Christian Aid Partners who need our thoughts and prayers this Christmas and beyond.
This Christmas love builds hope in some of the world's toughest places.
This Christmas we are fundraising for families still facing crisis around the world. When the rains stopped in Kawite's village in Ethiopia, she and her daughters walked for five hours a day to collect water. Her family often went hungry and her children missed school. When the prolonged drought was becoming unbearable, Christian Aid and our local partner worked alongside the community to build a local pond, to provide safe, reliable water. The community pond saves Kawite hours of precious time she can spend at home with her family. The other support from Christian Aid's partner has empowered her to put food on the table and build a better future for her community, her children, and her baby on the way. She said, 'The pond is not only for me. It has changed the life of this village.' This Christmas we are building hope for more families still facing crisis. Your gift could restore a water source, supply seeds that grow in drought, or provide a platform to empower women.
Donate online using our JustGiving page for Christian Aid's campaign - Christmas 2020, which is live and ready to receive donations. JustGiving will send the money we raise directly to Christian Aid every week, so we can focus on our fundraising. Alternatively, Christian Aid envelopes are available within the church or can be delivered to you on request.
