In support of Chogoria Hospital, 100 years on!
 
Many of us remember the Minute 4 Mission Dr Alison Wilkinson gave on Sunday 25th September before she travelled to Kenya to take part in the Centenary Celebrations at Chogoria. Alison informed us of how the hospital and its work had grown: As well as patient care it is now a centre for nurse training and post-graduate medical education. The Church continues to play a vital role. Alison was able to convey our prayers and continuing support when she visited.
 
Our Kirk Session agreed that there would be opportunities at our Christmas worship to give to Chogoria. Our thanks to you for your generous support! A total of £835.32 has been raised, helping to support the work and renewing the long association Palmerston Place has with Chogoria.
