​CHURCH LIBRARY

5/2/2020

 
​CHURCH LIBRARY Many thanks to those who are doing book reviews on some of the new books for the library. There are still more books available to review so have a think about joining in. Reorganising and cataloguing is progressing, there is also some weeding out going on to keep the stock fresh. The books not required any longer are going to Book Aid in Templepatrick and will eventually be sent all across Africa where they are gratefully received. If you have any Christian books or Bibles no longer needed feel free to leave them on the desk in the library or in the vestibules, any not taken into our library will then be destined for Africa.

CHRISTIAN AID

4/30/2020

 
CHRISTIAN AID …. is helping to bring clean water to those who do not have it. Faith along with her husband Steven lives in Kenya, where ongoing drought means that nothing grows. Her fields were dirt and dust. Without crops they did not have enough to eat or sell and sending their children to school was an impossibility. Then Christian Aid came along and with Faith’s local community they got together to build a sand dam with your support. While the rain still remains irregular, a dam means that when the rains come the community can collect every last drop. Because there is now water in Faith’s community, there is life.
​Faith said “The sand dam has made me and my family happy, because when it was not there, I was not able to plant anything. Now we can plant vegetables and water our trees.” This is just one example, where donations are spent.

​CHRISTIAN AID

4/4/2020

 
​CHRISTIAN AID Water is vital to life. We in the West take it for granted. Christian Aid is helping to bring clean water to those who do not have it. Faith along with her
husband Steven lives in Kenya, where ongoing drought means that nothing grows. Her fields were dirt and dust. Hunger was a reality. Without crops they did not have enough to eat or sell and sending their children to school was an impossibility. Then Christian Aid came along and with Faith’s local community they got together to build a sand dam with your support. The dam gives Faith’s community resilience in times of drought. While the rain still remains irregular, a dam means that when the rains come the community can collect every last drop. Because there is now water in Faith’s community, there is life. Faith said “The sand dam has made me and my family happy, because when it was not there, I was not able to plant anything. Now we can plant vegetables and water our trees. I hope that by the time my children grow up, I will have done a lot of things. I will do my best to educate my children and my children will be what they want to be, when they grow up.” This is just one example, where donations are spent.
