This is Dr Dorothy Adeosun with Rosie, Freya and Georgia from the Sunday Squad. Dorothy came to talk to this morning about how her church in Nigeria helps others' in the community. She told us of the medical outreach work which is being done, the clothing which is donated and given to those in need and the churches recent project to secure clean water for a rural village by sinking a bore hole. Dorothy also highlighted the problem of infant malnutrition and how the church helps to combat this by encouraging local farmers to grow beans as cheap source of protein for their families. It was very interesting to hear about God's love working on the other side of the world and was insight into how much we could gain from having a companion link with a church in Africa. The congregation were told that this is something which will be discussed at the Open Vestry meeting on Thursday evening in the Rectory at 7.30pm.
The children at the Sunday Squad did their bit for Christian Aid by making cheese scones and chocolate krispy cakes and selling them to the rest of the congregation. The home baking was a hugh success, with everything being sold within 10 mins and £20 being raised!!! A big thank you to Oscar, Rosie, Freya, Georgia, Jessica and Sean for their hard work!!!!
Well done, the Sunday Squad! Your baking was terrific and it was so good to raise so much money for Christian Aid to use to help other people to help themselves.
