J & P CAMPAIGN
The Justice and Peace Group invite you to support our Lenten Campaign to help to rebuild Gaza. As we are all aware Gaza has been totally destroyed in the recent conflict. They are a people with nothing but what they stand in and the few belonging to they have dragged from place to place as they were being evicted and moved on. They have no homes to go back to. They are suffering from hunger, thirst and all the accompanying diseases. They have no fuel, no medicines, no electricity.
They need so much just to stay alive. The children have no opportunities for education or for medical help. We know that whatever we give will be a mere drop in the ocean compared to what will be required to make the country habitable again. But as Tesco says, “Every little counts”.
There are little bricks available which you can buy for £1. If you feel inclined you can stick the brick on one of the buildings on our ‘Little Gaza’ on the back wall of the church. Or you can leave your brick in the wee basket there, and the children will stick them on for you. Let’s make an effort to listen to the voices crying out to us from Gaza. Let’s pray for peace there and in the many war-torn countries of our world.
