Operation Christmas Child

Since 1990, more than 124 million boys and girls in over 150 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoebox gifts. Hundreds of people in our local community contribute filled shoeboxes to this project, via St Mary’s, every year.

Bring your filled shoe boxes to the service at 11am on Sunday 6 November; to the Parish Office, open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 9:30-12 (but not Friday 11 Nov); or 10am–12noon in church on Saturday 12 Nov. The collection period ends on 18 Nov so don’t miss out!

Full details about how to put together your shoebox are at www.samaritans-purse.org.uk or pick up a leaflet in church. More info? – contact Linda Staff tel: 020 8330 2286
