Christian Aid Week: 11-17 May. House to House Collection-can you help please?
Christian Aid Week: 11-17 May. House to House Collection-can you help please?
Last year we raised over £4,000 from the ‘House to House’ collection in Christian Aid Week. We will be approaching those last year who helped with delivery and collection of envelopes and it will be great if you can assist again. If you haven’t done it before and would be able to, please have a word with either Paul Tucker or Pat McCombe. As well as raising a good amount of money for the most vulnerable in our world it can also be the means of having some lovely conversations with people. Thank you.
Gagan Mohindra, MP listens to our concerns
Gagan Mohindra, MP listens to our concerns
We have always had an excellent relationship with our local MP, Mike Penning, who always contacted government ministers regarding our concerns about international disasters and injustices. Kings Langley now has a new MP, Gagan Mohindra, and we were delighted when he agreed to meet us in the village to establish a working relationship.
Our Chair, Paul Tucker, raised first the foreign aid budget cuts, which will have a devastating effect on poor communities fighting to survive while climate change destroys their crops. Equally important is the loss of the many government education and health care projects, which bring hope to struggling communities,
We appreciated having this opportunity to talk with Gagan and that he listened to our concerns and engaged in a positive dialogue. We are hoping he can join us at our Christian Aid United Service on 11 May at All Saints church.

Children from two local schools delighted shoppers in The Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead on 13 December, with their lovely carol singing. Nash Mills Church of England Primary School sang in the morning and The Divine Saviour Primary School from Abbots Langley in the afternoon and with a mixture of traditional carols and modern songs brought joy to those who passed by. Many shoppers commented on how much they appreciated it, and the children clearly enjoyed performing.
This was in support of Christian Aid’s Christmas appeal which this year focused on Shede in South Sudan, who like thousands of others like her, are fending off hunger and malnutrition in Wedweil Refugee Settlement. When families are forced to leave everything behind and every essential is unaffordable, the support programme Christian Aid offers with their partners, Smile Again Africa Development Organisation, is a vital lifeline. For Shede, it offers a rare chance to feed her youngest daughter, Saida, and granddaughter, Mariem, both aged six, a nutritious meal.
We are delighted to say that an excellent total of £625 was raised and our thanks go to all those who helped make this possible.

An amazing tribute

With great sadness, last February we reported that Jeanette Hayter had died peacefully in her sleep, following a long illness. Jeanette was a founding member of the Kings Langley Christian Aid Committee. For over 50 years she worked tirelessly in the service of the poor and her considerable contribution is highlighted in our film “Believing in Life Before Death for 50 years”. She was always supported in this by her husband, Mick, who named Christian Aid to receive gifts in memory of Jeanette. Including Gift Aid, over £5,000 was raised, a reflection of the love and respect in which she was held throughout the community and the many organisations she supported.

Kings Langley has had an active Christian Aid Committee since 1968. In that time over £400,000 has been raised to fight global poverty. In this documentary some of the volunteers who have raised funds and campaigned for justice, recall memorable highlights from those 50 years.
