City of God Appeal - Day 23

MP provides today's update:
CITY OF GOD APPEAL - DAY 23
Thanks to two very generous people our new total is:

$6095.83

We still have some money on its way that has not yet been counted in, so we're still doing very well even though it is Christmas and, by now, we're all broke.

The OCICBW... Community Christmas Appeal this year is raising money to help pay for the work being done by the Anglican Church of Christ the King in the City Of God district of Rio De Janeiro. Full details about the project and how to send your gifts can be found HERE.

Click where it says "HERE" to donate through Paypal
Or, you can send your cheque or money order, marked "City of God" to:

The Episcopal Church of St. Paul
200 Main Street
Chatham, NJ 07928
This is a chance to live the Incarnation this Christmas.
Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

This is so wonderful and how grateful I am to MP to be a part of it.

And you too of course.

This is what living faith is about, amen amen!
