Soup Lunch with Parish Group

Our Ealing Parish ACN group held a lunch for 20 guests, with a suggested donation of £20. We advertised it as a ‘homemade bread and soup lunch’ and that was quite an attraction. 

We raised £1,114 which will be doubled to £2,228 as part of the £500k4HOPE matched challenge helping persecuted Christian children & families. Hosting it in our home ( a bit of squeeze) gave it a more personal touch. We made an information board for the event and for use in the church to highlight the situation and plight of, 200 Christians massacred by jihadists in Nigeria, including children & families. 

We also spoke briefly about the role of ACN. It was hard work, but very enjoyable. The Parish Office were very helpful, as usual in publicising the event and ACN’s work. We found setting up and donating with Fundraise Up easy, whilst giving guests the choice of paying in cash. Our group is looking into what we could do in the Autumn. 

We are planning an information board along side a school’s art display, an ACN goods stall and a coffee & goods sale morning in the parish before joining you for #RedWednesday Holy Mass. We encourage you to put your faith in action and take action in your community,
