Turn on the Tap Challenge 2008 - June 8, 2008

Everyone is warmly invited to join in our Sunday School Fun Day to raise funds for Samaritan's Purse Turn On The Tap (TOTT) Challenge on Sunday 8th June after the morning Eucharist service from 12.15-2.30pm.

The event will take place in the Churchyard and start with a buffet lunch. This will be followed by fun activities which will be water related, so come prepared to get wet!

TURN ON THE TAP is a campaign for safe accessible water for people in the developing world. Through a range of solutions from hand dug wells, water filters and boreholes to health and hygiene education, we are providing safe, clean water and helping to break the grip of poverty on local communities.

Families are getting safe water to drink. Communities are improving health and sanitation. Children who would otherwise spend all day fetching water are now going to school. Lives are being saved. This challenging project is run by Samaritan's Purse, a non-profit, Christian organisation, which provides church support, emergency relief and development assistance to suffering people around the world. In all their activities they aim to provide hope to communities in desperate need, and through this to show God's love and compassion in many real and practical ways.

Our TURN ON THE TAP campaign has already raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help communities access safe water. But STILL, 1.1 billion people live without access to safe water.
