Art and Craft in aid of Biblelands Egypt Challenge
The ART CRAFT and more event recently held at Ardess Parish Centre in Clogher
Diocese successfully raised nearly one thousand pounds for Biblelands Egypt
Challenge which Dorothy Pendry, a member of Ardess Parish, has signed up
to.
Members of Ardess Art Society put on a lovely show of their work. Spinner,
Bridget Maguire, demonstrated her craft, and many commented that “it's
great to see a spinning wheel in action”. Wayne Hardman came with
two simple looms for would be weavers to try. All the other stalls; cakes,
plants, books and bric-a-brac were well stocked and were kept busy.
Biblelands is a Christian agency that supports and resources Christians
in the lands of the Bible as they serve the needs of poor, vulnerable and
disadvantaged people, through education, health care and community development.
Biblelands works in partnership with local Christians to respond strategically
and effectively to the changing needs of the region and it's people, regardless
of their faith or nationality.
Egypt Challenge begins with a visit to St. Catherine's Monastery at the
foot of Mount Sinai. Then a transfer to Cairo to help with a short term
project at St. Andrew's Centre for Displaced Persons, at present they are
mostly from the Sudan. On returning home Dorothy plans to be able to tell
others about the conditions in this part of the world and the work which
is being done there.
