We received this request of help for the Church in Little Downham from Sharon Walker. Read her story below.
“Whilst organising a funeral for my brother, we (my niece and her uncle) spoke to a lovely lady called Shirley Jenkins who is the Warden of St Leonard’s Church in Little Downham, near Ely. St Mary’s church in Ely is closed for renovation so we were lucky enough to find this church was available.
We were going to live stream the funeral to family and friends (some are in Scotland and France) but we found out that we couldn’t as there wasn’t any Wi-Fi in the church.
Also we heard that Shirley wanted to modernise the weekly Sunday church services to encourage the younger generation to play more of a part. The internet could play a major part in this to provide live-stream, videos, hook up to other churches etc.
All they need is a phone line, a router and an internet provider and a little money to start with. Shirley said they find it difficult to fundraise and so I thought I could help a little by spreading the word.
The church will be busier next year as St Mary’s is closed so this could be very helpful to people using the church in the future.
The Go-fund-me page is below, thank you. Any donations (however small) are gratefully received.”
