fundraising for Edinburgh Street Pastors. You may like to donate at
www.justgiving.com/EdinburghKiltwalk2022-JeanLeitch Cash or cheques

6. COFFEE AND BLETHERS Coffee and Blethers has resumed and will run
over the Summer on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of July, August and
September from 2.00pm to 3.30pm.
7. STAMP APPEAL We are still collecting stamps! This year, the proceeds
from selling them will be used to support pastors in Lebanon. They are
employed by the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon (NESSL),
which is a partner of the Church of Scotland. The economic crisis in the
country has struck hard and the Synod is struggling to pay salaries. Pastors
are key people supporting the spiritual and institutional life and ministry of
the Synod. Despite the hardships experienced, they are reaching out to the
needy in their congregations in a sacrificial way, and have even set up a
scheme where they give half of their salary to a relief programme for the
neediest families. The desperate situation has prompted the Synod to ask
its partners around the world for support. This year the Stamp Project aims
to raise enough funds to pay a pastor a full year's salary. You can be part of
this simply by passing on your used stamps.
Look out for our red stamp-collecting box on the table in the Halls
entrance. If you have a large collection, or stamps which you believe to be
valuable, please let me know and I’ll be happy to pick them up from you in
person. Contact Kate O’Brien
4362. Thank you!
8. YOUTH UPDATES Youth Group will be taking a summer break until
August. Hillary will be in touch with families to conduct a survey of the past
year, as well as with some late summer plans before the next school term begins!
9. UKRAINE It is difficult to remind ourselves as we enjoy time outside
(albeit recently under grey skies) in the eastern part of Ukraine there is no
peace as shells rain down indiscriminately on people, buildings and fields.
The current avenues by which help can be given to support Ukraine, from
hosting a refugee family to prayer, can be found on our website:
www.mayfieldsalisbury.org/index.php/gallery/ukraine Please also
remember those in other parts of the world who face conflict and suffering.
10. HEARING LOOP The whole of the church is served by a hearing loop.
Users should turn their hearing aid to the setting marked T.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone
document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with
different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the
Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in
Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a
common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations.
It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally
protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is
widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption
of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent
basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their
preambles). The full text may be read here:
