Good News story from ZEM

ZEM, Zimbabwe Education MTAPA, is a charity set up by Bolton, Calverley and Saltaire Methodist Churches to help disadvantaged children get an education. The children live in one of the poorest townships in Zimbabwe.

The recent ZEM Zimbabwean Lunch & Concert proved to be a very successful event. This was attended by about 40 people who enjoyed a meal prepared by Zimbabwean members of Trinity Methodist Church in Leeds. The event also had a splendid two-part concert by the Palm Court Quintet.

We had donated £100 towards the cost of food which was returned by our Zimbabwean friends in recognition of their appreciation of the work we do for the children in Mtapa. We anticipate that funds will be increased by £300+ as a result. ZEM is very grateful for the hard work and organisation of both Calverley Methodist Church and our Leeds friends.

Calverley's Young Potters

The children of the Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club, and a couple of Dads too, turned their hand to pottery, when we created the animals that went into the Ark. The figures were air-dried then fired to bisque, and then they were painted and glazed and re-fired. How do you like the results? Charlie Wesley Craft and Cooking Club at Calverley Methodist Church has developed into a group of 3 to 8 year olds (and mums and dads too) who meet on the first Saturday of the month and cook and craft stories from the Bible.
