Christian Aid is a wonderful cause that St James Church, and churches in the surrounding areas, have tried to support each year. Considering covid regulations this year, we have organised an online profile that you can access to raise money through St James Church, Little Paxton.
Join us in supporting this cause, whilst the fight against coronavirus and climate change across the world continues. Please think about giving a donation in these difficult times.
