On the 6th February, Turkey and Syria experienced earthquakes that have devastated their countries and their people. Some reports have put the death toll approaching 35,000 across both countries. Those that have survived, many are now without family members, housing, power, and food and water, while enduring a cold winter.
A Turkish Christian organisation called "Ilk Umut Dernegi" (First Hope Team) are a first response team working on the ground.
The Financial Management Team feel led that it would be good for us as a church to donate financially to this vital work.
If you would like to contribute, there will be different ways to do this over the next 2 Sundays;
- the donation boxes at the entrances to the church (put money in an envelope marked "Earthquake appeal"
- electronic transfer. Reference "earthquake appeal"
- there will be a card payment facility available on Sundays
