OrphFund appeal

-

 

OrphFund, like many other charities, has been hit hard by the Coronavirus pandemic. Now, more than ever, they need our support.
Their schools are closed and as countries are now in lockdown, the kids have been mostly sent to stay with trusted guardians in their home villages. The charity's income has been heavily hit by falling revenue from markets in their home state of Victoria, while the costs of providing essentials for their projects has risen steeply.
They have shared this video which highlights some of their achievements over the last 14 years. Take two minutes to watch it. Just CLICK here.
If you feel able to, you can make a one-off donation. CLICK here.

Fwd: "THE UPPER ROOM - The Last Supper" , multimedia performance/storytelling/photography/music

Hello, my name is Christian Stejskal, I am a storyteller, violinist and photographer, and I have created a multimedia performance called "The Upper Room" which I would like to offer your church. Here follows a short description: The Last Supper with Jesus and His twelve disciples in the Upper Room is described by "the beloved disciple" in chapter 13-17 of the Gospel of John, after they have spent three and a half years together in life and ministry. During these three and a half years, the disciples have been walking the land of Galilee, Judea, and Samaria with the Lord. They have been sitting at His feet and listening to His teaching, and witnessed great miracles and healing. However, right before Judas leaves the Upper Room, Jesus will demonstrate loving service by washing the disciple's feet. Then, after speaking to His friends in the most intimate way about love and life in the Spirit, warning them about impending tribulation, annou...

“THE UPPER ROOM - The Last Supper”, multimedia performance/storytelling/photography/music

Hello, I am a storyteller, violinist and photographer, and I have created a multimedia performance called "The Upper Room" which I would like to offer your church. In my performance "The Upper Room" I narrate chapters 13-17 of the Gospel of John faithfully and by heart. I have traveled the Middle-east in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and photographed the cultural landscape in Israel and Egypt in search of visual motives, illustrating the Biblical scenes, which I display on a screen while rendering the Holy Scriptures. This, I have put together with short pieces written for solo violin. The performance lasts 75 minutes. Please view the attached description for further reading. Please view this youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLtNpU7F40Q&t=82s I am planning a church tour in England in February and March 2025 and it would be wonderful to play at your church during that time as well. Sincere regards, Christian Stejskal

Somerton West Street Church Christmas

 At Somerton we were unable to have our planned Christmas morning service this year. In common with some other Methodist churches in the Somerset Mendip Circuit, live services have been suspended until the situation over coronavirus is clearer. Everyone is, of course, disappointed at having to close the Church doors on such an important day. Rev Tim stepped in and offered to record the service he had already prepared, and we already had much of the music available. So, at very short notice, it was all put together as an audio-only file, and the resulting service is now available here . It appears we may be in and out of different tiers of lockdown for some time to come, so this is an attempt to produce a service that would be accessible to most people. Those with internet access can listen online or download to play on a device later. At Somerton we use small MP3 players or USB memory sticks to distribute services to housebound members of the congregation. In lockdown we have exten...
