Christian Aid Week
14-20 May
This is a chance for all churches, and individuals, to find out about the work Christian Aid
does to help people less fortunate than ourselves, and to make a contribution to maintain that work.
St. John’s members and friends will take part in six Pilgrimage Walks around Durham Cathedral,
and invite people to sponsor us to raise money .
Christain Aid helps in long term development projects in 29 different countries .
This year we will be learning about 'pigeon pea' project with farmers in Malawi.
They are growing a crop they hope will withstand the violent weather which climate change is forcing on them.
Christain Aid also provides emergency funds provide an instant response to crises such as natural disasters ,
(eg hurricane Freddy in Malawi, the Turkey Syria earthquake ) and human made catastrophes such as the Ukraine war..
by providing immediate food and shelter and medical care.
It is part of the Disasters Emergency Committee 'DEC'
You are invited to sponsor us by bringing a cash or cheque donation to Church
