The parish gives support to a number of organisations during the year. While financial giving is key to our mission support, prayer is also encouraged, and background information and news updates are on display, to help make our prayer support more specific. At times a special event is held to raise money and awareness of the work done by different mission organisations. Preachers from these groups are also invited to share about their work.

 

Misson Weekend

Each May we hold a Mission Support weekend to raise the profile of mission support within the parish.

Christian Aid works to expose the scandal of poverty, to help in practical ways to root it out from the world, and to challenge and change the systems that favour the rich and powerful over the poor and marginalised. For more than sixty years Christian Aid has been providing relief to those hit by disaster, helping people help themselves out of poverty and speaking out against injustice. They work to help people, regardless of religion or nationality, both on the ground and in the corridors of power.

 

CMS is committed to evangelistic mission, working to see the world transformed by the love of Jesus and inspired by the hope that one day the whole of creation will be restored to a living, loving relationship with God. Born in 1799, in the crucible of the campaign to abolish slavery, CMS has always had justice and evangelism at its heart. Today it is a community of people in mission working in over 50 countries, directly supporting more than 700 people and drawing thousands more into local mission wherever they are.

 

The Bible Society aims to make sure the Bible’s message is known, loved and understood everywhere. The task is huge because although in some parts of the world the Bible plays a central role, in many others it is ignored or seen as irrelevant or has virtually disappeared from the day-to-day reality of people’s lives. And in too many areas its message has still hardly been heard at all. For example, more than 4,500 languages still wait for even one book of the Bible and a billion people live on less than 60p a day – making the Bible a luxury they can’t afford. The Bible Society is totally committed to making the bible and scriptures available in such places.

 

The Church Army shares faith through words and action to transform lives by making Jesus famous. It focuses on the 7 out of 10 people who have little or no meaningful contact with church, and exists to enable people to come to a living faith in Jesus Christ. It is a mission agency within the Anglican Church - founded in 1882 by Wilson Carlile. Church Army trains, employs and deploys evangelists who are active in training others in evangelism, planting new churches, and reaching out to children and young people, homeless people and older people. Their evangelists often cross an area wider than one parish.                                    More
