St Magnus Way

There’s an opportunity to walk the first part of the Evie to Birsay section of the St Magnus Way on Saturday 13th May.  This is being organised by Kerr and Moira Wintersgill, who are Church of Scotland ministers in the Milestone Community Kirk, Mission Development Officers for Orkney and Chaplains to the St Magnus Way.  The May event is part of a series, with other sections being walked on 10th June, 8th July, 5th August, 19th August and 9th September.  There’s more information on the Walk with a Mission Facebook page.


Christian Aid Week

Christian Aid Week runs from 14th-20th May and this year focuses on Malawi, where soaring costs are affecting many people.  It’s a problem around the world and, in Malawi, food, fuel, fertiliser and school fees have doubled in price in the last year.  The climate crisis is also bringing increasingly erratic weather and hardworking farmers are seeing their harvests fail as a result.  On top of that, Cyclone Freddy has had a devastating effect.  Floods have washed away crops, over 500,000 people have been displaced and hundreds have died.
