Churches across the diocese 'show love in action' during Christian Aid Week

Committed Christians from across the Diocese went out during Christian Aid Week to raise funds for the national charity, which works to support sustainable development, stop poverty, support civil society and provide disaster relief.

All Saints' Church, Kirby Hill (pictured above and left) hosted a variety of activities, such as a five kilometre walk, a Christian Aid Lunch, coffee morning and door to door collections. 

The Revd Alison Askew, incumbent for Kirby on the Moor and the surrounding benefice, said, “The small congregation of All Saints' in the village of Kirby Hill lived up to its reputation of being a generous church.

“A tiny but enthusiastic band worked amazingly hard to raise an incredible £1,400 for Christian Aid. 

“Our strapline as a church is ‘Reaching up to God: Reaching out to others’ and we are committed to showing God's love in action through generosity and social concern.”

The Eldwick Church (pictured below and right), located near Bingley, were also hard at work raising funds. They managed to raise £500 by hosted a special Christian Aid Bread and Cheese Lunch, which included a number different stalls.
