Apologies to those who 'knit and natter' and who were a little disappointed not to get a mention in last month's article on Tools with a Mission! This small group, and one lady from the Lunch Club, beaver away, producing many little tops (pictured below) which are sent to Tools with a Mission. Initially these are used for packing, but then are distributed to needy children in various parts of Africa. Below is a short extract from a letter received from South Africa, which was published in TWAM's newsletter.
Dear Lady Knitters,
"I cannot tell you how delighted I was to receive the beautiful vests and jerseys ... They are truly wonderful and I thank you. Some people live in a shack and have nothing. Many are young mothers with babies on their backs. Your jerseys and vests will be so useful when the winter starts. The children are going to love them." God Bless you all.
An event at Christchurch for the Bible Society.
To raise funds for Bibles for China
demand for the Bible in China is now outstripping supply
as Chinese people turn to Christianity at a rate of around half a million per year.
Chinese supper, desserts, music, talk, themed quiz and more.
This is a joint event with other churches in Hitchin and is hosted by the local Hitchin Action Group of the Bible Society.
If you have any Chinese Bibles, decorations, music, etc. which we could borrow, we would love to hear from you. (More details in the next issues of Outlook.)
