Text Box: Outreach Sunday 2008 This year, Rev Canon John Tibbs came to speak to us on Outreach Sunday, telling us about the schools project in Swaziland. We collected a number of “useful” presents to send to the schools  - pencils, rulers and crayons (not the wax kind – they melt in the heat!), and several people wrote personal letters and messages to the children and staff in the schools.     Read more about our Outreach Sunday here:
