Christian Aid Week 15–21 May
For many years
we have invited
the people of
Sedgefield to
take part in the annual national
Christian Aid Week appeal.
Since the pandemic lockdown we
have not been able to arrange the
usual annual house to house
collection. However, donations can
be made by visiting the Christian Aid
website at www.christianaid.org.uk.
Christian Aid seeks to help some of
the poorest people in our world.
We will display the advance publicity
banners and posters outside our
Methodist Church.
Thank you for supporting this
appeal.

Sunday 22 May 2022—The Distinguished
Gentleman’s Ride.
On Sunday 22 May 2022,
we are teaming up to ride
solo in The Distinguished
Gentleman's Ride with fellow men
and women across the globe to raise
funds and awareness for prostate
cancer and men's mental health on
behalf of Movember.
Men die on average 6 years earlier
than women and for largely
preventable reasons. The number of
men that are suffering is growing,
and we need to do something about
that. So, before we press our tweed
and polish our boots, we are asking
you to join us in raising funds and
awareness for these causes by
donating what you can for this
meaningful cause and to help the
men we love, live happier and
healthier lives.
Please see
www.gentlemansride.com/
fundraiser/IanClifford440924 to
donate.
