Suzan's Ordination

Sunday December 15th Suzan Liz Nabirye, Principal, Rubaga Youth Development Association (RYDA), Uganda, will be attending her ordination service to become a Rev. Deacon in the Church of Uganda. The Church of Uganda is in the Anglican tradition. Suzan will be integrating her new role with her principalship, which can only strengthen and expand RYDA's expertise in serving the vocational and life skill learning needs of the orphaned and disadvantaged teenagers it supports.

Please pray for Suzan, for all involved in the service and give thanks to God for leading Suzan and RYDA to this point. If you use What's App, you can find her on that service and perhaps send your wishes as well. We look forward to seeing photos.

Celebration of Christmas a Success

Sunday afternoon November 24th St. Margaret's church was overflowing with four part harmonies and enthusiastic community singing as we celebrated the approaching Christmas through carols and lessons led by Singularity. The choir asked us if we would like them to perform this repertoire as a fund raising event to support RYDA. Those who came were so glad we said yes. As always the 20+ members donated their time on the day and through several rehearsals beforehand. Admissions and donations totalled $765.

Thank you to those who supported with their presence, those who couldn't make it but sent a donation and those who supported by taking on various roles leading up to, and on the day of the performance.

More has since been added to proceeds with $300 from Ron Seccull's dedication to collecting and cashing bottles and cans in Yarrawonga. Even more has been added in the past couple of weeks through Christmas Gift Certificates. Our treasurer will arrange a transfer as soon as possible.

Update 16th December
AUD 2221.65 transferred to RYDA today. This included $20 towards bank fees in Uganda, concert proceeds, Ron's $300 and a variety of wonderful donations from a range of prayerful supporters. Thank you to every one of you. The amount RYDA should see in their account is USD 1333.31.
