Syria's Forgotten Families

This coming Sunday we're going to be celebrating Harvest at CBC - by both thanking God for what he has provided for us, but also remembering those who are not so fortunate. 


I am sure we've all seen many news stories over the last year about the refugee crisis. This week there has been much said on the future of the 'Jungle'. And I'm sure that many of us will have watched those reports and wondered what on earth we can do to help. The crisis seems so huge and complex - what difference can we possibly make?

BMS World Mission is making a difference in the lives of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. We're going to hear a bit about that difference on Sunday morning and learn how we can get involved too.
