Lent Appeal for Amos Trust
Thanks to the many generous donations so far, raising money for Humanitarian Aid to Gaza and to help re-build a Palestinian Home destroyed by the IDF in the West Bank. Thanks too for those who sponsored Sue Charlton for #Run the Wall last Saturday 2nd March. Leaving St. James Piccadilly at 2pm to walk to Ealing it took 4 hours, reaching home about 6pm. It was wonderful to be one of approximately 3,500 people in 39 countries around the Earth running, walking or cycling part of the length of the Separation Wall in Bethlehem. The more we raise the more we might help. Payment can be made via the Church website or via the card reader in Church on Sundays.
