Indonesian Earthquake
Over 800 people are estimated to have died, thousands have been made homeless and over 1.5 million individuals are affected by the recent 7.5-magnitude quake and 18ft tsunami waves hitting parts of Sulawesi.
Appeals for aid are in place with work already being done:
Christian Aid is supporting the delivery of food, shelter, clean water, sanitation and other relief supplies in the city of Paul and the district of Donggala, two of the worst-hit areas. This is coordinated by YEU and CWS, fellow members of the global ACT Alliance network (a global alliance of 146 churches and related organisations working together in over 120 countries).
Similarly, requests for prayer support have been made by many religious and faith leaders, including the General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, and the President and Vice-President of Conference, Rev Michaela Youngson and Bala Gnanapragasam.

Piano downstairs
The Stewards Team has undertaken a consultation by email this week to ascertain whether there is general agreement to our passing on the piano in the “L” shape room to the Eagles Wings organisation, a group referring people to the ClothesBank. (The suggestion arose out of a ClothesBank experience.) If anyone has knowledge that the piano was donated by an individual or family (possibly in Ward Road days), please advise Sue Marshall-Jennings or any Church Steward as soon as possible. Similarly, please express support or concerns about this proposal to the Stewards Team as soon as possible. Please spread the word to anyone who may have not have been included already by this consultation.
Traidcraft stall
Last week, Traidcraft informed supporters that it was likely, that after consultation, Traidcraft would cease to trade at the end of the year. Clearly, this is not welcome news, but we are told that trading has been difficult, and carrying on seems not to be an option.
Margaret would welcome conversation about whether you wish the Fairtrade stall to continue, and what products you would like to see. Not all she sells is Traidcraft!
Meantime, there are new catalogues from Traidcraft. Please take one, and return with your order!
Dundee Pride
Dundee Methodists had a great day out at Pride. A great event attended by 8000 people. Our Minister, Rev Nick Baker was humbled and proud to address the 3000 assembled in City Square alongside a minister from the Scottish Episcopal Church. Nick thanked the Pride supporters for the their courage and support over many years and encouraged people to remember God’s love is for all people.
