Hunger Lunches in solidarity with the Kiteto Christian College, Tanzania
During Bishop Tim’s Appeal, Canon Chris Oxley, Priest in charge of the Avon Swift Team Ministry, ran hunger lunches.
Every Monday in Lent, people from across the parishes of the benefice gathered at the Rectory for a bowl of soup, a slice of bread and a glass of water. This provided an opportunity for fellowship and to raise £405.00 for the Bishop’s Lent Appeal for the dioceses of Mount Kilimanjaro and Kiteto in Tanzania. I have since been in touch with the Bishop of Kiteto, who stayed recently with Paula and me, and he sends his thanks to all involved for this excellent expression of love and solidarity.

On this occasion Bishop Christopher joined the Oxleys and one of the lunch groups.
Three of our local primary schools have already shown an interest in linking with our parishes and the Christian College in Kiteto… a school run by the Anglican diocese of Kiteto. They are having excellent results already but need basic things like pencils and paper! A group from the benefice may well be able to make a visit there, encouraged by Bishop Christopher when he shared the first Hunger lunch with us.
