St. Johns in Tenby is one of 20,000 churches supporting Christian Aid Week by holding a coffee morning on Wednesday (May 13). The event begins at 10 am. All are welcome.

Anyone not able to attend, but who wishes to contribute to Christian Aid week (May 10-16) will find a donation box just inside St. Mary's Church or you can leave a donation with the local secretary at 9 Crackwell Street.

Churches throughout Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire are holding fund raising events for Christian Aid next week. The charity is at the top of the table among British charities for giving out the most money with very low expenses.

Malcolm Stacey, secretary of Tenby Christian Aid, said: "The disaster in Nepal has brought home yet again how much poorer countries of the world need our help. But as well as Nepal's crisis, we mustn't forget that millions of families go short of food, many of them starving to death, every day."

He added "Christian Aid week is just a good way of trying to ease the world's miseries, which is exactly what God wants us to do."
