'Cows and goats provide milk to help feed families.
Together with sheep, chickens and rabbits they give mineral-rich manure
to improve the soil and its crops.'
As part of our upcoming Harvest celebration on 14 October, we'll once again be supporting
the great work of the Send a Cow charity -
started by British farmers to help farmers in Africa - specifically the countries of:
Uganda, Burundi, Zambia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda.
This year, we're thinking about goats...
The gift of a goat = £33 and a kid = £18.
Let's see how many goats/ kids we can gather
through our church and schools fundraising efforts this year
and help support other folk in rural communities through the work of Send a Cow

We're hoping that goats of many kinds will be flocking to our Harvest celebration,
and plans are already takings shape/ underway with our schools in the run up to Harvest.
[and, they should be awesome: we've already had practice with cows in 2016]
The goats made and used in Harvest assemblies will join us for our Harvest service...
we're hoping they behave and don't eat the food and floral displays that will also be
decorating the church that day...!
Keep your eyes and ears out for flocks of goats flooding the area...
In the meantime, here's a wee video, showing the work of Send a Cow.
