Malawi
Instead of exchanging Christmas cards, some members of our congregation chose to “buy” an angel, and write their Christmas greetings to other Church members on the angel. The angel was then attached to a noticeboard in the Church, as shown in the photo to the right.
We raised £440 by this activity, which is being used to help the Ekwendeni School in Malawi, for whom we have been fund raising for several years.
