Communion in all 3 churches next weekend, Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 August 2015.
Christians in the Holy Land need our support* They comprised 40% of the population of the Holy Land
less than 50 years ago and now make up less than 5%
The Christian population is vital in preserving the Heritage and Patrimony of the
Holy Land and the Holy Places.
The continuing conflict has affected all local Christians who are ethnically Arab and so are treated as hostile.


The increasing influence of many aspects of militant Islam has also made life more difficult, as has the
decline of tourism to places like Bethlehem because of the on-going conflict and the separation wall.
Your contribution will help in many important ways, including the upkeep of Churches and the
Parish Centres in Nazareth, Bethlehem & Jerusalem, schools in Bethlehem and homes for the elderly in
Nazareth.

Clothing Collection Facility
There is a Clothes Bank / Container inside the Depot Gate.


If you have old clothes for disposal, why not bring them there. Your contribution will help the parish and various charities. 
Currently people are leaving out bags of clothes at their houses to be collected by purely commercial operators & they 
rarely help significantly any worthy cause ~ despite what a few advertise! 
And other clothes banks in the village contribute only a very small amount to the charities they advertise. 

Please do not bring books, toys or any items other than clothes! 

The mind grows rich from what it receives, the heart from what it gives!
