Christian Aid Week

Christian Aid Week

It is Christian Aid Week next week: 10th - 16th May 2020.

• Christian Aid Plant Sale (& coffee morning)
• Christian Aid Sunday

Because of the VE Day weekend this weekend, Churches Together in Burton Joyce, Bulcote & Stoke Bardolph had planned to hold Christian Aid Week activities next weekend, at the end of Christian Aid Week. Our normal Plant Sale and Coffee morning on the Saturday has already taken place, in effect, virtually, with sales of plants raising around £150.  

This was the email Dinah sent round last week with the news:

Just had a phone call from Brian F... to say he is effectively sold out, and has raised the grand total of £146!  He will have rhubarb to sell in a couple of week’s time (tell me if you would like some). So he hopes to top £150.   He said he would make out a cheque for Christian Aid, Cynthia, so I’ll make sure that comes to you..  He is very chuffed that it has all managed to happen!  

I think we're all very chuffed.  

Many thanks to Brian and to everyone who bought the plants. 
(You will have to make your own coffee!)

As for Christian Aid Sunday, that was to be a united service on Sunday 17th May 2020 but, obviously, that will not be happening this year. However, our weekly service outline for next week here on the BJCC website will be for a Christian Aid themed service so I hope you will look out for that when the time comes. 

In the meantime ... it is Christian Aid Week but there will be no door-to-door or street collection so please give generously using the link below. Thank you.
