St Mary's are fundraising this Christian Aid Week, and we invite you to join us so together we can help more people push back against poverty.
Think about Burundi, where malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people. Christian Aid are working to empower families in Burundi build reliable and diverse incomes. Take Aline, for example. She found a lifeline in Christian Aid after she felt the full force of extreme poverty, when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. We helped her with small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, Aline can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
This year several members of St Mary's will be taking another 'Gospelathon' challenge, with a marathon read-through of all four gospels in a single day. Last year it took them ten hours, and the challenge this year is to take less time while raising more money!
Your donations will be much appreciated as together we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for your support!

Our Gospelathon prompted such generous giving that our target was easily beaten. Hilary decided she had set it too low, so has raised it. It's always good to have a challenge to beat!
We had a wonderful day on Saturday, sitting in our lovely chapel all day, reading through all four Gospels. 32 people dropped in at some point to read a section out loud. Took us just over ten hours, and some people were there all way through!
