As we approach Christian Aid Week this year 10th-16th May, for many of us there is a sense of sadness as the usual events, collections and celebrations we look forward to can’t go ahead.
For many people Christian Aid Week provides a moment for us to join together, be that for a chat over cake and coffee or out delivering envelopes in your community. So, this year we have had to be a little creative to help bring back some of the fun and fellowship Christian Aid Week provides and to create opportunities to reflect and pray for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.
With that in mind There are two very special events planned for Christian Aid Week this year and you are invited to join in.
A Christian Aid spokesperson said – First, is our celebrity quiz on Saturday 2nd May at 7:30 pm. Hosted by some of our exciting famous friends, put your thinking caps on and test your general knowledge whilst raising funds to support people living in poverty. You can sign up for this exclusive event at [ caweek.org/virtualfundraisers ]and we’ll keep you informed about our other planned quiz events too.
“Our second event brings a Christian Aid Week service straight to your home. We are holding a live Christian Aid Week Sunday service on the 10th May at 1pm. Introduced by Amanda Mukwashi, Christian Aid’s Chief Executive, we will have special guest speakers, prayers from our partners and a special Sermon from Dr Rowan Williams (Photo above).
“Throughout Christian Aid Week (Monday 11th to Saturday 16th May) we will also be streaming short reflections each day so please join with us as we stand together in love and solidarity with our brother and sisters around the world.
“You can find out more about these events and our newest resources including a guide on how to hold you own unique event at [ caweek.org/virtualresources. ] . We hope to see you soon.”
