MEMBERS of a Leominster church who were moved by the plight of the tsunami victims raised £4,000 for the disaster appeal when they met for a Sunday service.
New Life Community Church spokesman Paul Millichap said church members and visitors meeting at their regular venue, Leominster's Bridge Street Sports Centre, "opened their hearts and their wallets".
He added: "Everyone donated generously and £4,144.70 was sent off to The 700 Club, enabling Operation Blessing to take aid to the thousands of people of Asia affected by this terrible disaster.
"The gift will bring much needed aid to the many thousands of people that need it much more than us at the moment.
"Our every thought and prayers are with them all at this very hard time."
