    Gillian had a very successful day to launch her project (raising funds to buy mosquito nets to protect children from malaria in Kenya) which helps address UN Millennium Development Goal 4 Reducing Child Mortality.

    In just one day, £1242 was raised, enough to buy over 400 nets. Thank you to all, especially the helpers from Gillian's own church and circuit, but also everyone who attended from around the district, or sent donations. Some funds had been raised before the day, and many gifts were Gift-Aided, so the final total to date will be even higher. Gillian will update us at the Forum meeting on 4 October.

    In the meantime, please be thinking what you might do in your own circuit to raise further funds for this excellent cause.

To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money ..."
