We are looking forward to our 24-hour sponsored Bible Readathon happening this weekend, from 12 noon on Friday until 12 noon on Saturday. 48 readers will be passing through the Salvation Army Hall doors, each reading for half an hour. To this end, readers have been gathering sponsorships over the last few days, and islanders have been very generous in their donations and sponsorships.
In the near future Nick will be releasing his debut album on the island, called "Like a Child". His original intent was to donate all proceeds to the church's building fund, but since the rockfall it will be channeled specifically to the Rockfall Relief Fund. He is also seeing about getting a public domain book published, entitled "St. Helena and the Cape of Good Hope: or, incidents in the missionary life of the Rev. James M'Gregor Bertram, of St Helena." We are hoping that both these projects will yield a good return locally.
The Ladies' Orchestra is organizing a musical evening as a fundraising venture, which will take place on 5 December.
To date approximately ₤4,500 has been donated. Thank you to all who have given.
