THE LEPROSY MISSION

Do you think of leprosy as an ancient or even mediaeval disease? Sadly it is still prevalent in many parts of the world to devastating effect. We were approached by The Leprosy Mission Scotland and were asked to consider inviting a speaker from the Mission to promote its work and raise awareness of the difficulties experienced by those affected, often in the poorest countries of the world. At the deacons’ meeting last month we agreed that the most effective way to do this would be through cell groups. There are leaflets available by the notice board to give group leaders or members more information should you wish to invite a speaker. Further details are also available from the Mission’s website www.tlmscotland.org.uk
