Nepal Donations
CBC was able to send £2,630 to support the Nepal earthquake appeal. This is an extract of a letter received from International Nepal Fellowship…”We have been able to help 3000 families. We have distributed in excess of 65 tonnes of food, over 840 tents, and more than 4,450 blankets. We have also given out hundreds of other essentials from matches to mattresses. These numbers are out of date as I know we have been continually delivering aid. Thank you for being part of making this possible.”
Corsham Churches Together
Corsham Churches are planning a “Picnic on the Green” at St Patrick’s Church on Sunday 14th June from 3.00-5.00pm. It will be run on much the same lines as last year’s “Pentecost in the Park” with people being invited to bring along a picnic and craft activities being run for the children to do. Dan Ovens will be speaking at the event so please come along to support him and meet with other Christians in Corsham.
