A big thank you to all who have contributed to our Food Bank box (located in the Narthex). All donations accepted. If you want to help this week they are running low on toilet roll, cleaning products, tinned meat and tinned veg.
Breakfast Club – great news but we need help!

Mission Partner Prayer Focus
Kajo-Keji Christian College provides theological, business and education training in South Sudan – a country plagued with poverty, violence, famine and lack of infrastructure.
Please pray:-
– for the Principal, Rev James Lule Kenyi, as he nears the completion of his PhD
– for efforts to recruit more theology students in August before the new semester in September. Students struggle to pay their fees and Diocese provide no funding.
– for peace to be restored after the recent horrendous violence in the area when the army killed 3 school boys
– for Sue Browning, CMS Mission partner teaching at the College
– for the ongoing building projects – classrooms, dormitory, toilets and chapel – giving thanks for the funding received to date
– giving thanks for the vital part the College plays in building the Episcopal church in South Sudan.
