£700 was raised towards the Haiti appeal during St Davids Churches' Council week in January.

The Week of Christian Unity was opened with a service in St Michael's Catholic Church. People from the seven denominations which form part of St Davids Churches' Council came together under the leadership of Revd Wiliam Owen, chair of the Council. Reverend Ifan Roberts, General Secretary of the PCW, was the preacher. He emphasised Christ's presence in our world today, and how the world fails to acknowledge that presence, exactly as it was on the road to Emmaus. He encouraged the audience to prepare material and spiritual resources for Walk Saint David, a mission campaign that will be held in Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire later this year.

A quinted from the Cathedral sang a Tallis motet, and Alan York led a short period of meditation and quiet on behalf of the Quakers. Fiona Michael led the prayers whilst her three-month-old son slept in her arms.

£200 was raised towards the Haiti Earthquake emergency Appeal. The service was the perfect start to a series of Bible meetings and short prayers aimed at considering the significance of Christ to our world.

At the end of the week, a Soup and Crumble Lunch was held in the city Hall, with the proceeds again going towards the Haiti appeal. At £4 on a sunny day, with the snow and ice having finally melted away, the lunch was well-supported. The soup was provided free of charge by the local pub, Farmer's Arms, whilst the vegetable soupd and crumbles were donated by other supporters.

Around £500 was collected at the door so a total of £700 was raised to Christian Aid's Haiti Emergency Appeal.

St Davids Churches' Council are now preparing for the Christian Aid Service and Week later this year and the St Davids Walk campaign in late September.
