A Christmas donation?

I know I've said this before, (in fact - in my previous post!), but the Wayside Chapel do such brilliant work. I love getting their weekly emails.

This week Pastor Graham Long says:
I sent out our Christmas appeal letter but I'm a bit concerned that because we've had a lot of publicity around the fundraising for our building that people will think we've got loads of money. The truth is that our operational account is in the same state that it has always been and our building is nothing more than a tool for our daily work. We do miracles on a shoe string budget with the demands upon us increasing and the shoe string becoming ever more stretched. In 5 years I almost never talk about money in this note but if you are considering making a donation to a charity this Christmas, could you spare a thought for Wayside? Donations can be made on our website - http://www.thewaysidechapel.com/donations.php

I know all of us are stretched financially at Christmas. I won't be making a special donation to Wayside this Christmas as my funds are already allocated to support others. But... if you've got something to spare, I commmend the cause to you.
