Margaret Mandrell's 300,000 steps challenge!

This Christian Aid Week we will be thinking about families in Kenya. Droughts are now more frequent and more intense due to the climate crisis. Margaret has pledged to walk 300,000 steps during May 2021 and hopes - with your support - to raise £1100. This amount will support the construction of 2 sand dams, helping drought-stricken communities to access water close to home. Imagine how much lives will be improved when villagers no longer have to walk miles each day to fetch water! Millions of people in Kenya are struggling to get enough food and water. Your donation will help families, like those in Kenya, become more resilient against climate change and poverty. Please give generously.

‘Margaret and Lindsey braved the inclement weather yesterday and got windswept around Pitchcroft as they totted up more steps for Christian Aid (and she’s on track to achieve her target)!

There is still plenty of time for you to make a donation to this years 300,000 steps challenge.

Thanking you in advance and for all your support so far.’

A little something from 1928

A little piece of a recipe book complied by parishioners of St Pauls, Hockley, Birmingham. (1928)

A Good Hint

Take equal parts of kindness, unselfishness and thoughtfulness, mix in an atmosphere of love, add a spice of usefulness, scatter a few grains of cheerfulness, season with smiles, stir with a good laugh. Success is certain.

Shared by Alistair Morris, Parishioner of St Stephens.
(Nephew of Rev Canon Ralph Stevens of St Paul's, Hockley)
