Copies of Inside Out the magazine of the ‘Council for World Mission’ and Insaka (a word which comes from Zambia and has a number of meanings: a village council where men, women and youth meet to discuss issues affecting the community; a place for communal meals; and it can refer to the skills and instructions given as a preparation for adulthood) linking women and men in mission, are both available in the front porch and outside the Morton Brown Room. But if anyone would like to receive these publications on a regular basis, please speak to me.
World Mission
Birthday Scheme
‘Thank you’ to all who contributed to the Birthday Scheme during 2008. Donations received totaled £550.00 of which £480.00 was Gift Aided and will, therefore, bring in about £105.60 more. The grand total of £655.60 is a record amount – ‘thank you’ again. Sadly, we have lost two contributors this year, and new names would be very welcome!
If you would like to know more about this Scheme, read on …. On their ‘special day’ each year participants in the Scheme receive a (usually hand-made) birthday card, with greetings and a reminder that, in return, they have promised to give a donation (of no set amount) for the work of the Council for World Mission.
