ST NICHOLAS WALKERS- SATURDAY 27 APRIL
Our next walk will be to Bookham Common and Slyfield, a walk of 5½ miles through woodland, meadows, lakes and passing Slyfield House, dating from early
17th century, with refreshment stop in Fetcham. Parts of the walk could be muddy if there has been recent rain.

Further details from Elizabeth, Jo or John.
************************
MOZAMBIQUE CYCLONE
At a meeting of the ALMA Link Task Group last Tuesday there was some guidance on how to help the people of Mozambique.
For the moment it is probably best to give through the DEC Appeal for helping with immediate relief. In the longer term there will be a special Pentecost effort in London Diocese to raise funds to remake churches and schools destroyed in the disaster.
This is work that will only happen through the Church, but it is not just work for the Church alone - many of the churches and schools that have survived have been providing shelter and support for the homeless, regardless of their religious belonging.
BABY BORN IN TREE IN MOZAMBIQUE CYCLONE FLOODS - Amelia was sheltering from the floods with her two year old son in a mango tree in Dombe when she gave birth to her daughter. It was two days before they were rescued. Mother and baby are fine, reports Unicef.
