Many thanks to you for
your generosity this Christmas. To press I will have
to declare £1,200 on my tax form. Thanks for the bottles
and gifts too. A surprise coin in the collection was a penny
dated from 1927. Either someone has opened their purse for
the first time in a while or they simply wanted to raise a
smile. Thanks again.

All People are to hear the word of the Lord and are accepted

No doubt some of you will feel spent up after
Christmas.
Alternatively, you might start the New Year with a gift to
help others make the most of their lives.
No one should feel under any obligation to donate to our projects
in
Africa and Latin America next week.
Those who choose to can feel confident that their gift will
go immediately to aid
People in Tanzania and Peru so that they can start the
New year as well as we can ourselves.
