Prior to the main service on Dec 3rd we’ll be presenting a short update on the CAP projects for 2011.

Worship Service taken by CAP team, led by Pastor John Arthur

Our first CAP update of the year…

We’ll have

• updates from Albania,
• some accounting,
• more on money,
• a mystery voice from Egypt,
• some stories from Harry.

Today’s service is a CAP emphasis and update day.

We’ve got updates from Maluti and Albania, we’ve got (more-or-less) the complete accounts for 2009, and lots of other good stuff.

Come along and spend your money on the produce from this mornings harvest festival plus bric-a-brac.  Help us raise money for the CAP programs.

• 6pm.  Pot luck tea
• 7pm.  The auction begins…

Please bring good, sale-able items to Moyra…

Three years ago, in 2006, we started the CAP program.  It was always our intention to review our projects after three years so today we’re looking back at the ROPE and CAKE projects.

The big picture: Over the 3 year period £24,000 was given from church budget (the single biggest line item in that budget).  £16,674.22 came from other donations.  Which gives us a total of £40,674.22.  That’s a big number…

CAKE (The Crieff African Kids Enterprise)

By way of an introduction here’s video produced by an American Adventist Church who have also pledged to help at Maluti Hospital…

More to follow explaining where the CAP money went…

ROPE (Romanian Old Persons Enterprise)

Again, more pics and details to follow…

This month we had a CAP auction where we swapped our rubbish valued contents of our garages with each other and paid CAP for the privilege.

With the auction and other giving £604 were added to the CAP funds.

CAP was £246 richer this month.

Summertime.  Sort of.  A yellow thing appeared in the sky so we gave some more money to CAP. £383 to be precise.

Also: A further £200 went to ROPE and a big transfer of £7055 went to the CAKE project in Lesotho.

Has it stopped raining?  No?  Hmmm.  £103 added to the CAP coffers…

£205 from the good folks of Crieff Church…

£172 added to the CAP fund.

£558 added to the fund…

And £6000 was sent out to the ROPE project in Chesau.

In spite of the lack of ‘stuff’ appearing on this site we have been busy.

This Saturday (19th April) sees the first CAP day of the year, where the main worship service is given over to reporting what’s been happening.

Shirley Thomas is not long back from a few months in South Africa and Australia. During her epic trip she visited Maluti and she’ll tell us what she found there.

Is it spring yet?  No? Oh well…

Let’s give some money to CAP instead.  This month CAP funds increased by £406.
