Christian Aid Week: Together we’re stronger than the storms
In Haiti, Marcelin raised his three daughters alone. They’ve endured some of the worst natural disasters on earth. They’re not just survivors. They’re fighters. But they’re only so strong. They won’t survive the next hurricane without your help.p.
This Christian Aid Week, you can be in their corner. You can help them build a home that will weather the next storm, so they won’t need to fight to survive anymore.
Christian Aid Week unites kingdom builders like you from all walks of life. We step out in mission for our neighbours like Marcelin, because we believe in life before death. We believe God’s kingdom is stronger than the storms.
Join us
This Christian Aid Week, 13-19 May, our church is…
- holding a collection in Church. Please fill your envelope and give one to friends and family.
- hosting the Sandhurst Churches Together Ecumenical Service at 6:30pm on Sunday 13th May which will be led by our Minister Sharon Gardner and have a Christian Aid theme.
- supporting the Women’s World Day of Prayer lunch for Christian Aid that is being held on Tuesday 15th May from 12:30pm to 1:30pm at St. Swithuns Church, Yateley.
- involved in the Sandhurst Churches Together Quiz for Christian Aid on Saturday 19th May at St George’s Church, Owlsmoor : 7:00 pm for a 7:30pm start ( further details in this Newsletter)
Will you join us? If our church can raise £210, we could pay for two days’ construction training for a local builder in Haiti. The builder could then build secure, comfortable homes for people like Marcelin, giving them a safe place to weather the next disaster, and a fighting chance to build a better life.
