World Church Coffee Morning: May 30

• Ukranian youngsters enjoying a day at the seaside in 2025

Enjoy our coffee morning and catch up with friends, not forgetting our sales table of second hand and donated items.  All proceeds are donated to Christian charities worldwide.

The World Church coffee morning in the Church Hall from 10 am – 12 noon on Saturday 30 May will raise funds for Abernethy Barcaple’s Ukrainian Children’s Respite Fund.
Barcaple’s interim centre director said of last year’s group visit: “It was a joy to host our friends from the Ukraine again this year and to see both old and new young people enjoying Dumfries and Galloway and beyond.

“It was an extremely sad, and a hard time when they left. Lots of hugs and tears on both sides realising the joy they had experienced, and the memories made but also the realisation of the situation they were going back to.

“Can I assure all of those involved in some way from organisers, fund raisers, donors, staff and friends, that you made a deep and lasting impact on these young lives which, I am sure, will last them a lifetime.”

Over £42,000 was generously donated for the trip by both Abernethy Trust’s supporters and by people in Dumfries and Galloway local to the centre, to cover the cost of flights, accommodation, food and activities.

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 August 29, October 30, November 7 and December 5.
