The World Church coffee morning in the Church Hall from 10 am – 12 noon on Saturday 2 May will raise funds for our friend and church member Hamish Waddell.
Hamish will be returning to Uganda for a few weeks to continue his volunteer work for Suubi Lyaffe Centre, a centre for children with disabilities in the southern suburbs of Kampala.
‘Suubi Lyaffe’ translates to ‘Our Hope’ in English and supports disabled children with free physiotherapy and medication, as well as giving much-needed support to their parents and wider family.
All funds raised will be used to pay for treatments and the purchase of equipment.
Over the years World Church coffee mornings in Kirkcudbright have raised thousands of pounds for charities. They also aim to help the congregation and parish become more aware of the world-wide family of Jesus Christ to which they belong and hence:
- to experience and enjoy sharing in God’s mission on earth as partners with other churches in this work;
- to promote worship, witness and service along with other churches and related organizations both here and overseas.
Future dates for coffee mornings this year are Saturdays May 2 and 30, August 29, October 30, November 7 and December 5.
