A great day out - and support for Mike Yemba


Most unusually, I haven't heard from Mike this week, so I expect all the students have had to take the December exams again, and are busy with those. (You will remember that the University lost all the marks in its computer system.)

So I hope you won't mind a message from me.

On 16th May, the Winterborne and Milton Abbas Benefice will be holding its annual Valley Walk. This gives those taking part a chance to walk from Turnworth to Milton Abbas in five easy and very beautiful stages, stopping at each of the benefice churches on the way. Or you could just do one stage, or two or three - whatever you like. We finish at Milton Abbas, where a most wonderful tea is always provided in the Reading Room. As well as having a great day out in (usually) brilliant May weather - but do pray for that, if you will - we also have the opportunity to be sponsored, and to raise money for our churches and a good cause. This year, the organisers have kindly suggested that the good cause could be the support we are giving to Mike Yemba Soro.

If you would like to take part, please e-mail me at
jenny.galuschka@hotmail.co.uk, and I will send you the information and forms you will need.
The picture above is people arriving at Milton Abbas last year.

Chris (the Diocesan Accountant) has just let me know that he has sent over £500 to Nairobi for Mike, so we have more than covered his first year's costs. Well done everybody! The next target is to raise enough money to pay the next lot of fees in August. I am expecting what will look like a steep rise in costs for us, as the British pound has been declining steadily against other currencies. So any and all contributions will be very welcome.

If anyone else would like to commit to giving by standing order, (even if only once a year - even if just a small amount) please let me know, and I can provide the appropriate form for you.
Yours in Christ Jesus, Jenny
