Collect
Almighty Father,
Whose Son Jesus Christ has taught us
That what we do for the least of our brethren we do also for him
Give us the will to be servant of others as he was the servant of all
Who gave up his life and died for us;
But is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit
One God now and forever
Amen
Theme: The Chesney Trust
An address by Jamie Wastling
The Chesney Trust was set up in 2006 by a member of St Mary’s congregation, Janet Chesney to raise money to build and run a secondary girls’ boarding school in Engcongolweni, near Mzuzu in the north of Malawi. Jamie visited the project over the summer and shares his experiences
