This morning the All-Age service was about Christian Aid week. The church was adorned with bunting and balloons (which were taken home by the children!) and the service was all about giving others hope.
We learned through a video about Gustavo, a coffee grower in Nicaragua. With the help of Christian Aid, he, and hundreds of other growers, are able to obtain a fair price for their goods. This has been achieved by becoming part of a co-operative able to continue the processing of the beans.
Please, if you have a collection at your house, make a donation to allow people like Gustavo and his community break out of poverty!
This is the video shown this morning:
