Lola going to Africa

One of our young people, Lola Dean, is planning to visit Africa in 2025 to volunteer at a school in Kenya. She needs to raise a significant sum of money to proceed on this trip and as part of the fund raising, she is undertaking a sponsored walk from Matlock to Derby, a journey of about 20 miles.

If you able to sponsor her, please visit www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/LolaDeansAfricanAdventure?utm_term=jWbeErX8v

We will try to follow her progress and wish her and the family every success in this challenge.

This Sunday is a combined service with the congregations of Morley and Smalley churches. We have a visiting speaker from Wycliffe Bible Translators. Please come along and support this event at 1030.
