On Saturday night, the U.K. hosted the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of Ukraine, the 2022 winners.

In Christ Church Barn, there was a special screening of the song contest for local Ukrainian friends.

Christian Aid week started today. Phil Evans, the regional representative of Christian Aid, was at Abingdon Baptist Church to encourage people to fund raise and challenge injustice in the world.

There will be a Christian Aid stall on Abingdon Market Place Sale on Saturday.

You are unlikely to get a traditional Christian Aid envelope through the door but e-envelopes will be sent out during the week (probably to church members). The Christian Aid website is https://www.christianaid.org.uk/

The Abingdon Passion Play is fund raising for the next production of an Abingdon Passion Play, provisionally planned for June 2024. There will be a ‘come and sing’ of Handel’s Messiah Parts 2 & 3 on Saturday.
