To celebrate this occasion, rather than asking for presents we are going to give a present to “Send a Cow” there is a booklet giving details of what we can offer according to what we raise. There is also a box for donations. We shall keep this appeal going until the end of October, so that it can be sent off for Christmas. How about setting aside a jar for coppers (or even 5ps) to go towards this. There are “Send a Cow” Giftaid envelopes available as well.
To date we have already collected just nearly £150. This would enable us to buy
2 donkeys Or
A calf and a fuel saving stove Or
3 hives of bees Or
3 lots of chickens + a sheep
Pakistan
We shall be able to send off about £150 -00 for relief work in Pakistan through the church - this takes no account of what individuals have sent off.
Our Support of Grace in Zambia
World Vision through whom we support Grace is completing its work in this part of Zambia. We have been supporting Grace for about 8 years, and she is now going to be moving on from school. The area where she lives has been considerably improved by sponsorship (both from Crook Peak Parish and others). Our sponsorship of her comes to an end in September, and the PCC will be considering how we shall use the money which has in the past gone to Grace. When we have some ideas we shall be consulting the congregation about how we move forward.
