Poverty and Homelessness Sunday

Many thanks to Neil for yesterday's service. Never have cartoons and origami been used to such powerful effect in worship at St Paul's. The video of Dillon's story (below) was heartbreakingly sad-but-hopeful - a reminder of the reality of poverty for millions of kids in our country.
This video comes from the animator's YouTube site, which gives permission for embedding on web pages. The full set of videos in the "Wrong Trainers" series are on the Newsround page at CBBC. Neil left us with a challenge: could we as a church commit ourselves to one significant action in 2008 which would impact on poverty?
