To The Congregation at St Paul’s from the Senior Citizens Service

Thank you so much for your donation of £205 which has been paid into the SCS Lloyds account.  It will go towards paying our May medicines account at Plus2 pharmacy where we obtain all our medication. Without your support it would be impossible to continue supplying essential medication, nurse and doctor care to our older destitute citizens. I can assure you that all expenditure and medicines are closely monitored by me and all donations are used to their maximum effect.

Thank you and God bless you all for your support.   

Dave Gill - SCS administrator

Prayer Focus: 

We continue to pray for all who are ill and those who care for them and for Dave Gill, all their family and many friends, following Sheila’s death on Monday after a long battle with her illness. Sheila was a key member of St Paul’s before their move back to Zimbabwe.

From Murray

Before the news of Sheila’s death I had been in touch with Dave as one of the organisations we have been funding has had to stop their work.  Food for Homes Bulawayo made sure that Care homes for the elderly had enough food to feed their residents.  Recently food has become more readily available and the organisers have other urgent commitments.  I have agreed with the PCC that our contributions to Zimbabwe will in future be divided between Good Hope Orphan care and Dave’s Senior Citizen Service.
