Mission Support

The PCC approved our support for the missions listed to the right for 2011, with allocations from our parish tithe, plus monthly free will offerings and monies raised from dedicated events.

Each month we support one of our Mission Partners. During the month we display information about the mission, have visiting speakers and take a retiring collection for the mission.

To access each Missions own web site, where one is available, please click the mission icon. 

 

For Parish Partners and others without a web site click one of the links provided.

 

For 2010 we produced a leaflet "World View 2010" which details the mission we supported last year and the link partners in our Church.  You can download a copy from here.
