24 Hour Worshipathon
This is a sponsored event to raise money for one of our young people to attend an Explorer Scout trip to South Korea in 2023 and so much more! But of course, it is an opportunity to come and Praise God at an awesome event too. Starts Saturday 9 July at 11.30 am for 24 hours!
Make sure you read this bit about the fund raising effort!
Here are what the funds are helping to achieve! Izzy is raising funds for an Explorer Scout trip to South Korea in 2023! She has been selected as one of 4000 UK scouts to attend the World Jamboree next year. After 2 very challenging years, this is very motivating for Iz. She is working every week to earn lots of this money (£3,700) and will also be running numerous fundraising events over the year.
In Korea they are building a bespoke city for 50, 000 scouts from all over the world. It will have hospitals, supermarkets… a proper city!
Has there ever been a more important time for young people to connect and mutually-understand, cross – culturally?
Izzy will be sooo grateful for any donations you feel able to give, big or small. THANK YOU!

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.
