Christian Aid Week 13-19 May 2007

It's the fiftieth anniversary of Christian Aid
and, as usual, Churches Together in Oadby are going to undertake a door to door collection. The funds we collect will go to support the work of Christian Aid in over fifty countries, where projects help people of every faith to improve their own lives and tackle the causes of injustice and poverty.

At the start of the week, the annual Christian Aid Walk begins with a picnic lunch at St Paul's at 12.00noon. The walk begins at 1.00pm and is ten miles, with an option for a shorter walk of six miles. The route is along public footpaths, mainly across the fields from Oadby to Evington, Bushby, Houghton, Houghton Lodge, and then back to Oadby. More details from Colin Chettle.
