Christian Response to Eastern Europe (CR2EE) collections
Christian Response to Eastern Europe cr2eeWhen CRR2EE started sending aid to Ukraine at the start of the invasion they were concerned that they would be spreading themselves too thin, but the response has been truly amazing. They were sending three lorries of aid a year but now are able to send seven each year! They are also able to help in other ways due to the cash donations being made.
Thank you for your ongoing support, as one of the ministers said, “You are not just giving us aid you are giving us hope and reminding us that someone cares!”
Please could you continue to pray for the following:
• For the pastors who are ministering in a war-torn country both at home and on the front line that they may know God’s strength and peace.
• For all the families divided by the war that they too may know God’s strength and peace.
• For CR2EE’s new mobile medical team as they travel the country giving assistance to those unable to pay for care.
Since Hugh came to talk to KCBC about CR2EE in 2022, Nick and Sarah have taken a carload (sometimes a trailer too) of aid to the warehouse in Exmouth each month. They are aware members of the fellowship have supported the charity in other ways too. Thank you KCBC for your support it really does make an enormous difference to the individuals and families who receive it. Nick and Sarah will continue to go to the warehouse on the first Wednesday of the month so please do carry on bringing any items you wish to donate to church.
If you would like further information or have anything to donate Nick & Sarah would be only too pleased to hear from you.

Some of the wonderful comments from those who participated in the KILTS Travelling Nativity - thanks to all those who helped make this possible.
“Thank you again for the delightful Nativity set. Both my girls love it and love reading the book and using the knitted characters. Beautiful decorations as well.”
“Merry Christmas – our second year having the nativity and we love it still! Our daughter and her dad had a lovely time playing with it. Beautiful decorations as well! We will miss not having it next year!”
“Merry Christmas – Our little boy loved acting out the Christmas story with the characters. What a lovely thing to do! Thank you and thank you for the little knitted angel hanging from our tree.”
“Merry Christmas Everyone – Thank you so much for doing this for them, our daughter loves playing with it. Have a great time all!”
“Merry Christmas to everyone at KILTs – The girls and I have had a lovely time playing with this and reading the books. It was out before breakfast! Thank you so much for doing it and all the great things throughout the year.”
“Merry Christmas Everyone - Thank you for the Travelling Nativity – the kids loved it! We look forward to seeing you again in the New Year.”
“The girls have really enjoyed borrowing this again, thank you! We enjoyed playing with the travelling nativity and acting out the story. I liked Mary and Jesus best, love from E aged 7 – I liked them all, from A aged 4. Lovely Christingle Messy Church too, thank you.”
“Merry Christmas Everyone – Thank you for all the amazing things you have arranged this year and over the 7 years we have been coming to KILTS play group and Messy Church. Our two children have enjoyed it all. This Nativity is a fantastic idea and we have had lots of fun acting out the stories (even with a little improvisation!). It has also been lovely meeting many new faces and other parents at the groups. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year. Many thanks. Thank you for the Nativity set I had fun from E aged 7.”

KCBC Travelling Nativity 2023
A big thank you to everyone who has been busy knitting and crocheting Angels as the keepsake in this year’s Travelling Nativity. Your endeavours are very much appreciated and as you can see we have a wonderful heavenly host! Photographer: KCBC |
As it travels around our KILTS’ community could we ask for prayer by the fellowship? By bringing KCBC’s Nativity into their home we pray each family is blessed and that amongst all the busyness they encounter the presence of Christ at this joyful and holy time of the year.
Thank you, Sue

A message from Hugh of CR2EE
We are delighted to report, one week after loading or Christmas Truck has arrived and has been unloaded. Our friends in Moldova now have the huge task of delivering all these lovely Christmas Shoeboxes in time for Christmas. The boxes for Ukraine were sent on the previous truck.
The huge lorry also took several family boxes as well as many tonnes of other humanitarian aid.
As always our wonderful team have worked very hard to make all this possible.
We would like to thank our generous supporters who have donated everything and provided the finance to send this lorry, the next one is already being planned for January.
Please pray that all the recipients of shoeboxes and aid are truly blessed. Thank you to you all for the support.

(171Kb)Collection for THAT Harvest 2023
THANK YOU
Dear Members,
Thank you so much for your harvest donation – we are most grateful for your support.
As you know, the cost of living crisis continues which sadly means we continue to see an increasing number of people needing our support, including an increase in the number of homeless . At the same time, food donations are decreasing meaning we need to buy-in more products to maintain our stock levels.
We are so appreciative of all those individuals and organisations who continue to support us – both with food and finances – without this generosity we could not assist those in greatest need in the local area.
Should your organisation know of any individual/family in need of assistance please do not hesitate to contact us (by phone or email) with their details and we will be happy to help.
With thanks
Yours sincerely
Hazel Harrison (Secretary)

Ram Fair 2023
Ram Fair Survey Results 2023 At the 2023 Ram Fair, people were asked for their preferred response to 3 questions about priorities in their life.
As the KCBC stand was themed on balance in life, it was an opportunity to say how we make choices when the pressure to balance is on.
So, no right answers and every response has its own good reasoning.
We had around 250 results for each question.
A big thank you to all who took part. The results are shown below.
How do you balance your life?

I understand that the next lorry is due to leave this month.
The warehouse is open the first Wednesday of each month and we hope to go up with a load each month.

A MESSAGE FROM THAT...
Thank You so much for your most generous food donation. We are especially grateful given the increasing cost of living which is affecting us all.
Sadly, we are seeing a steady increase in the number of people coming to us for assistance and are currently also supporting a number of Ukrainian families who are living locally.
We are providing food, toiletry and cleaning packs as well as Christmas “goody” boxes so are extremely busy.
We rely heavily on the generosity of the local community together with the dedication of our volunteers and manager to enable us to continue to support those in greatest need in our area.
Should your organisation know of any individual/family in need of assistance please do not hesitate to contact us (by phone or email) with their details and we will be happy to help.
Yours sincerely
