An important change regarding the Sunday School Outreach Luncheon for Malawi on Sunday December 13th
bccheadshot
Where & When
Date: Sunday December 13th 
Time: following the 11 o'clock service
Location: Undecroft
All proceeds will be used for the Sunday School Advent Outreach to Malawi
 
A  message from Haswell Beni:  
 
I'm so grateful to the Lord for the heart you have for the children in Malawi and what we are doing there.
As I told Caterina a few weeks ago,  to send anything to Malawi is very expensive. Not only the shipping
but also the custom duty declaration that the people receiving the packages need to pay ( usually they
don't have the money to do so).
So, I would advise to ...send the proceeds from the luncheon to the school to buy the much needed stationery and toys locally.
It is possible for me to bring some school supplies to Malawi or to ask all people coming to a project in Malawi to bring them. This would be a good solution for those supplies already bought by now.
But, right now if it is not too late, I ask people not to buy any more school supplies because the best thing  is to  make a money donation instead.
In Christ's love,
Haswell Beni

On Sunday December 13th, there will be a  Sunday School Benefit Luncheon following the 11am service.
 
 All proceeds will be used for the Sunday School Advent Outreach to Malawi which Caterina is coordinating with Haswell and Maria Beni (members of our congregation).
 
Caterina has arranged for older children (11 +)  to cook and serve this luncheon, with the help of their parents.
If any young people would like to help, please let us know.
Also, it would be good to know exactly how many people they should prepare for, so we ask that you book soon.  
 
Immediately after lunch,  the Sunday School children will perform a brief choral concert of Christmas music.   
 
Help us help others this Christmas.
Thank you.

We hope to see you soon.
