Mission at St Mary Magdalene
Charitable Giving
Since then I have been looking to find something to replace it. I doubt we will ever have such a close relationship with a charity again but I believe I have found one that we can truly get behind and work hard to support. During Lent this year I am going to launch a dinner money scheme to raise money for Mary’s Meals, a charity that provides a meal a day for children at school in 15 countries across Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean. They believe that by providing this meal children are more likely to go to school and that education is the best way out of poverty. If you would like to know more you can click on the image below to open Mary's Meals website.
I am hopeful, because I already know how generous they are, that many in our church family will be willing to take Mary’s Meals to their hearts and that we will support it as best we are able.
Make us ever eager, Lord,
To share the good things that you give us.
Grant us such a measure of your Spirit
That we may find more joy in giving than in receiving.
Make us ready to give more cheerfully without grudging,
Secretly without praise
And in sincerity without looking for gratitude
For Jesus Christ’s sake
Amen
