It was with great sadness that we heard that the Chairman of CUCMUK, Church of Uganda Children's Ministry (UK) , Steve Mitchell, died in April after a short illness.

At the thanksgiving service w heard that Steve has been actively involved in Uganda since the early 1990's and has been a trustee for CUCMUK for since 2004. He was a "gentle giant" and his wisdom, strength and quiet confidence will be greatly missed.

Our prayers go out to his wife Ann and the family.

The Year of the Child 2019

The Archbishop of Uganda, Stanley Ntagali, declared that 2019 would be the Year of the Child

He noted that children are among the most vulnerable members of society and the challenges they face -"reveal to us how so many of Uganda’s problems today are fundamentally spiritual issues.”

The Archbishop said, “We want to challenge parents to give more time to their children. There are many children who are left on their own or often in the care of maids and teachers. Parents have abdicated to others their God-given role of raising children,”
