Advent Appeal

This year our congregation has selected two charitable organizations to support through this year's Advent Appeal giving campaign. Donate your spare change each Sunday... Your kindness will make a difference and will bring hope to those who are forgotten. 

• Refugee Survival Trust (SCO47395) -
  • This charity works  directly with refugees in Scotland. Their goal is to promote a welcoming, inclusive, safe Scotland for refugees and asylum seekers, where all live free of destitution and have the means and opportunities to realise their full potential.
  • RST's work is so important to MUC's ministry as we are provide support to Afghan refugee students and families through our Edinburgh Napier University Charity and by using our  Church flat to house asylum seekers. 

• Orphans in Malawi -
  • Rev. Anna Kapinda of the Church of Central African Presbyterian - Blantyre Synod runs an orphanage for children, many of whom lost parents and grandparents to HIV. You may remember her speaking to the congregation two years ago. She needs support to carry on her work, especially in the face of the pandemic.  Only 3 percent of people in Malawi have been vaccinated and this is  placing huge pressures on their care system. 

Donations to these charitable programs can be given through collection boxes in the rear of the sanctuary. Cheques can be sent to the church office.  ---Thanks for your help!
