Nyarugenge Appeal
Last year St John's members responded to an appeal and, together with extra funding from Grass Roots Rwanda, some £2,000 was sent. Recent news reports that work on their church is progressing. The metal frame for the roof has been erected and now awaits the metal sheets. More funds are needed to help them make this happen and a new appeal is under way. We have already raised £340 with thanks to all donors.
If you wish to support this please write a cheque and make it payable to our church account which is Marchwood PCC. Cash is, of course, acceptable! You can either post it to me or pop it through my letter box. These can be banked via the Post Office. I will then arrange for our Treasurer to send a lump sum to Grass Roots Rwanda. Hopefully the Trust will add some more to it.
