From our December 2006 Newsletter.

This is your last reminder (this year) about the Christmas Concert to be held on 10th December at 2.00 pm., in Trinity Church. The Tickets are £3.50 and the concert will once again comprise Totally Trinity Talent. Please come along, enjoy the show, enjoy the clootie dumpling and other goodies and simultaneously swell the funds for Christian Aid. The BB Bus is available to bring you along to the Church and to take you home after this Concert. Please give your address to Margaret Milne or Bob Bremner. Many thanks to all of you who in any way assisted in the fund raising efforts of our Committee. Your help, both monetary and otherwise, is very much appreciated and Nancy Latto will gladly accept any contribution you may care to make towards the continuing requirements of Christian Aid.
We have received several letters from our sponsored children and new photographs too. My, how the children are growing!! Check the board in the large Hall for the most recent photographs.
The sponsorship fund looks good for continuing the sponsorship of all seven children but, of course, Hazel Robb, who is our Sponsorship Treasurer, will gladly receive your continuing contributions.

LETTERS FROM OUR SPONSORSHIP CHILDREN

An up to date picture of Mauricio in Columbia has been sent. He is now a tall young man and he will be 17 on 31st January. The letter is dated 25th August 2006. His new picture has been put up in the hall beside the other sponsored children's pictures.
He writes to us that his highest desire is that you are enjoying Jesus' love in your lives. Thanks for the picture you sent me; your sons are beautiful (it was a picture of my grandchildren). What do your sons do on vacations? How are they doing in school? My family and I are very well thanks to the Lord. On 20th July we celebrated the Independence Day of our beautiful country Colombia. How do you celebrate your Independence Day? I hope you keep on praying for me always. I love you very much. Mauricio.

Here is a letter from Divya in India.
Divya thanks you for your letters and she feels fortunate that she is in your prayers and we in the Centre feel privileged in writing to you on Divya's behalf. She is well and so happy and is in higher grade now. She is excited with her new uniform and the books. She thanks you for all the good things happening to her. She is preparing for her annual exams. Divya thanks you for making it all possible. She conveys her prayers and love to you.

A letter was written for Deb in Thailand dated 8th August 2006.
How are you and your family? His family is fine and he thanks you for snow pictures, colour picture, sticker, birthday card and letter. He asks does your country get cold, because he looked at the snow picture. Deb is in grade 2 of primary where he will try to study and practice writing. He enjoys learning Sunday school as he will sing a song and listen about God. He enjoys joining with activity so much. Sometimes he gets a high fever and project staff have to send him back home but he doesn't want to go back. We thank God for your prayers for Deb.

Here is a letter written for Miliscent in Uganda dated 18 September 2006.
Miliscent sends greeting to you in Jesus name. She thanks you for the prayers and the support you offer towards her life. She has been helping her parents during the holiday. She washed plates and swept the entire house. Miliscent was 25th out of 134 pupils. Pray for her studies, as she needs to be encouraged. Her parents are busy cultivating land in preparation of the rain coming. I has been very dry and people in Uganda have been attacked by famine due to little rain fall. Her teachers in Sunday school teach them bible stories like Adam and Eve and Noah's story. Pray that she masters whatever is being taught.

A letter is written for Divya in India, it is dated 14th September 2006.
Your little one Divya is presently studying hard and waiting for her 1st term exam results. She says she hopes to do well. On 15th August the children celebrated Independence Day celebrations. They have seen a breath taking film on the Life of Lord Jesus. It left everyone emotionally stirred. Divya sends her love and prayers to each one of you.
