Help for Haiti
After the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti 15 days ago, members of Agape Community Church began collecting items of clothing; bedding; medicines and other essentials ready to ship to the country and those in need.
These items were collected and sorted through and left for a container ship on the 27th Jan.
For further information on the Haiti Hospital Appeal that the shipment is going to help, please see:

Haiti/Christmas
Hiya people,
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve managed to book my time off work for the Haiti trip in February so thank you so much for your prayers!!
I thought this would be a good time (if not a little late!) to remind you of the link that I gave you last year…
…”If you are planning to buy any Christmas presents on-line this year, if you start from the www.buy.at/Haitihospitalappeal site, and link from there to your favourite sites (Amazon, Marks & Spencer, Play.com, HMV etc) and buy as you normally would. You get the same discounts and offers, but as you started from the Haiti web shop, the Haiti Hospital Appeal will receive a donation from the site you purchase from – for free!”…
Carwyn has also asked me to make you aware of the following site…
http://www.globalgiving.co.uk/pr/2300/proj2229a.html
…”as Haiti Hospital Appeal have been enterd into a competition with some other charities to see who can raise the most amount of money between now and Dec 15th. Basically if we raise $5,000 and get 50 different supporters to sponsor us we win $2,500. If we raise the most money over all we win $10,000, and if we recieve the most unique individual donations we win $15,000. All you need to do is make a donation, even if it’s only £1! The more we get the better.”
The group with a new name!
Well… I know you have all been eagerly anticipating the naming of the Thursday youth group and I am pleased to inform you that we have finally setlled on one…
Drum roll please……………………………..
We can now be refered to as ‘Flame!’
The astute among you will notice that we have gone for a grown up Spark/Sparx!!!!
I do not know why it took us so long, but the girls have all agreed that this is a good name!
We hope you approve. If you don’t, please tell the girls so they can argue their case, also so you can see the sadness in their eyes rather than tears in mine! My guess is that you will be much less likely to risk upsetting a child, and therefore will keep your opinion to yourself! lol
Anyway, it is getting late. More details will follow!
Thanks for your prayers for the group, please keep them up!
Bex.
