Organ marathon

Here is a message from David Alexander vicar of St Thomas' church in Stopsley, John is David's son:

Dear Friends,

I am writing this to all friends of St Thomas's whose email address I have.

This Friday (25th Feb) our organist John is performing a marathon of hymns on our church organ. A hymnathon? Or orgathon? Not sure, what it should be called, but he is going to play all the hymns in our hymn book (533 in all!). He will be starting at 5pm and keep playing till he finishes - which he estimates will be about 5am on Saturday morning.

This is in aid of Sally Escoto, the Director of Hands of Mercy - the charity we support in the Philippines. Unfortunately she urgently needs an important operation and as there is no NHS in the Philippines that will cost money - money she does not have, nor any of the workers of Hands of Mercy who all live in poor communities in the massive slum areas of Manila. She does so much work amongst the poor and we want to help her at her hour of need - and by helping her help many others also.

Would you be able to pop in for a time to the organ marathon and support this cause? You can stay as long as you like. You can even sing along if you wish! And please sponsor John with a gift to help pay for Sally's urgent medical care in the Philippines.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.

God bless
David
