Adopt a Country
From June to the end of August we will be holding our ‘Adopt a country’ appeal. Over the last 75 years Christian Aid has been active in various ways in more than 50 countries. These countries will be highlighted on a large world map to be displayed in church.
Accompanying the map there will be a summary of the key activities that Christian Aid undertook in each country. We are asking you to ‘adopt’ a country (or countries if you are able) by buying a ticket(s) for £10 a country. The 50 countries will be numbered from 1 to 50 in alphabetical order and each ticket will be numbered correspondingly.
Essentially, we are making a direct appeal for a donation – like so many charities, Christian Aid is desperate for funds. However, the names of every person who ‘adopts’ a country will be entered into a draw on 31 August or when all tickets have been sold – whichever is soonest. The first name drawn will win the prize package below!
Tickets are available from St Mary’s Church office, opening hours 10:00 to 12:00 Monday to Friday, telephone 01953 454977 and Dorothy Woolliscroft, telephone 01953 456211. You can also order tickets via email attleboroughchurch@btinternet.com
