The 1st Christ Church Women's Prayer Breakfast was on Easter Saturday. This day was chosen because in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church on that day worshippers meet & read aloud the whole of Song of Songs, as is done in synagogues at Passover. We did the same, which led us into prayer. After that we retired to Damon's for breakfast! The next prayer breakfast will be on Saturday 9th July. This will be just 1 week after the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY march to Edinburgh, where many thousands will have made their voices heard as the leaders of the G8 nations meet. This will be the focus of our prayer. Please feel free to join us at 9AM in Church.
On June 1st 2005 we celebrate our first anniversary, as a Church, of partnership with the people of Lideta. To celebrate this we have a 'Birthday Wish List' with gifts ranging in price from �1 to �57, which our friends in Lideta will be happy to receive to mark our good fortune in being linked with them. The list is on the Lideta notice board, or you may wish to ring June to receive one in the post.
We sponsor 8 children. Four by Home Groups, two by individuals, one by 10toTeens & one by Kidzone. This means that for �18 per month (60p per day), a child receives education, a feeding programme & health care!
