Christian Aid Week
Christian Aid Week this year will focus on Malawi which has had devastating floods with houses and crops washed away due to Cyclone Freddie Your gifts this Christian Aid Week could help farmers in Malawi plant better seeds, secure a fairer price for the crops, and build happier futures for their children.
Please can you offer to deliver envelopes to houses within our parish? As in the previous 2 years, since the pandemic, there is no requirement to collect as people will be directed to a central point to donate such as Trinity Church or an internet based giving page. Michael and Robert will be available before and after the services for the next couple of weeks for your offers of help. Thank you
Thank you for your help

Our prayer focus continues this week for Salamati.
Prayer Points for Salamati
Please pray for the head teacher at Al Huda Pre-cadet school and the teachers at this school as they stand firm and provide Christian education in a majority Muslim area.
Pray for the following children: Arman, Muqadus, Angel, Rimon, Anzi, Sameer, Emmanuel, Yashuwa, Arvin, and Naeem Also rray for the Rev. Mushtaq Raza Vicar of St. Peter’s church Waseem Park Lahore, and the Rev. Akram Gill Vicar of St Oswald’s church Mughalpura Lahore, who help.
Pray for the families we are currently supporting with food.
Pray that the donated items of clothing etc that are to be sent to Pakistan this summer will be delivered safely and distributed wisely to those in need.
Thank God for the generosity of those people who have supported us financially and with donations, that God will continue to bless them.
Pray for our next project, a free clinic at Kot Radha Kishan. We will face opposition from the influential Muslims families, as they would not want to see help being provided for these poor families. Please pray that there will be softening of hearts.
