All Saints Church calls for donors to support Christian Aid week
The Revd. Paula Preston, Acting Team Rector for The Parish of Chigwell and Chigwell Row and The Vale of Roding Benefice, has sent a short message regarding Christian Aid Week. We share this below for you. This week is Christian Aid Week, an annual fundraising drive that has been organised by British Churches during the second week of May since 1957 and we at All Saints’ are taking part, in a covid conscious way, this year Christian Aid works with 700 local organisations across 50 developing countries. Working with poor communities, it trains people to deal with the effects of climate and prepares them for the threat of natural disasters. These local organisations – or ‘partners’ – also work on HIV, training and education, health and sanitation and peace and reconciliation. https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/key-appeals/christian-aid-week Revd Paula, said: "If local people would like to contribute there are gift envelopes pinned to the church door
