Dear Parents and Carers

Harvest 2023

 

Our School Harvest Festival is being held in Church on Friday, 29^th September, at 2pm.

Please note that there will be no Celebration Worship in the morning that day.

This year we will be collecting non- perishable food items for Darwen Food Larder  

Any donations of food items will be very gratefully received during the next two weeks or in the Harvest Service.

In school, we will be finding out about The Bishop of Blackburn’s Harvest Appeal for 2023.

This year the appeal is supporting the work of CRESS UK. CRESS stands for Christian Relief and Education for South Sudanese. CRESS UK is a Christian charity whose mission is to educate and train South Sudanese people with the knowledge and skills to empower them to establish self-sustaining communities. 

In 2013 a civil war broke out in South Sudan. Thousands of people fled over the nearby border into Northern Uganda and were dispersed into refugee and displaced persons camps. The work of CRESS came to an abrupt end within South Sudan and was re-established afresh in Northern Uganda. The Vision of enabling community self-sufficiency, both in exile and on eventual return to South Sudan, remains strong.

Many thanks
