Fund Raising Update.
Fund raising for this has now closed, and our wonderful children’s groups at church managed to raise £850 towards the relief effort. Thank you to everyone who gave, your money will go a long way to helping relieve the suffering of so many.
Whilst our fund raising for this appeal has now finished, please do continue to pray for South Sudan at this time.
Original Post:
On 20th February 2017, the
UN declared South Sudan as in a famine – the first one they have declared for five years – this follows four years of civil war with over 3 million forced to leave their homes. 100,000 are in immediate risk of starvation with another one million facing famine. St Andrew’s children and young people, supported by the rest of the church, are raising money to support Tearfund’s work in the country.”
If you’d like to contribute to the Famine relief appeal, please give your donation into the church office, labelled “South Sudan Famine Relief”
2 Corinthians 8:14-15
14 Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal. 15 As the 
Scriptures say,
“Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over,
and those who gathered only a little had enough.”
