Winter Activities
Operation Christmas Child
The Charity 'Samaritan's Purse' meets the critical needs of victims of war, poverty and natural disaster. One of their projects is 'Operation Christmas Child.' Shoe Boxes are filled with gifts for boys and girls of varying ages.The boxes are collected sorted and delivered to Eastern Europe.
Our Church supports this project, and some weeks before Christmas we collect empty shoe boxes and give them to church members, friends and neighbours from our village and surrounding areas. Leaflets are given with information on contents of boxes. Previous years have been successful and this year- 2006 - a wonderful total of 320 boxes were collected at the Chapel. The Chapel collect boxes in November.
This is a time when we are reminded of God's gift to the world
His Son The Lord Jesus.
