All We Can - Update
;)
WMC: April 2019
On Sunday 24 March we were very pleased to welcome Matthew Forsyth back to talk about the work of All We Can (Methodist relief and development). Matthew had been invited to lead our worship some time ago and his visit coincided with the news of the terrible aftermath of Cyclone Idai in Africa.
The emergency envelope appeal that the church held on behalf of All We Can to alleviate the flooding disaster in Malawi has so far raised £927 of which £771 was gift aided, which will increase the total to about £1,120.
