As I write, its only 46 days to the big pack up date for Christmas Shoe boxes. And of course it will be fewer by the time you read this. Large cartons for your gifts will be at the back of both churches from 12 — 26 October.
I think we know that we are asked to avoid all liquids, war-related toys, food (apart from wrapped sweets). Hats, gloves, scarves, wrapped soap, toys will be very gratefully received. A detailed list will be displayed on the cartons. Items for boys aged 10-14 are especially welcome. And we are asked to give £2 transport costs for each box. Any questions to Rosemary Berridge or Elisabeth Leicester please. The grand pack up will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Monday 27 October in St Anne’s Church Hall. Help will be seriously needed, buts its always a fun time.
A note from Operation Christmas Child reminds us that, “Many of the world’s poorest children face even greater hardship this year with the global food crisis and soaring prices.” So I’m sure we will want to bring some children a taste of happiness. Now where did I put that teddy … ?
