Alton Webteam: September 2017
This Harvest, we are encouraged to 'chirp for joy' at God's creation and make a practical difference through our donations to "All We Can's" harvest appeal.
All We Can is working in partnership with the Methodist Relief and Development Agency to help people in many countries, including Zimbabwe which is the focus of this 2017 appeal, to develop sustainable livelihoods that will provide for the needs of struggling families. Gift envelopes will be available at our harvest services on 1st October.
