— the full text of an elder-led act of worship for the Sunday of your choice

— excellent children's resources, courtesy of our friends at Waverley Care

— a poster which can be printed and customised to meet your local needs

- a new information leaflet about the Church of Scotland HIV Programme

- Important information for Treasurers to tell them where to send the money raised

Also available free of charge from the HIV Programme Office:

— a five-minute DVD interview with Ugandan Church leader, the Rev Canon Gideon Byamugisha, in which he speaks about HIV, stigma and the Church

— a CD containing the song "Stigma", written specially for the HIV Programme and performed by Frank Prior

— GiftAid envelopes to help any tax-paying givers to maximise their donation

— HIV Programme leafets to keep your congregation up to speed with what we are doing in Scotland and around the world

For red ribbons, contact your local NHS trust (giving plenty of notice) and they will advise on availability in your area.
