Operation Christmas child is a way of bringing some Christmas cheer to a poor, needy or suffering child.

We are an official collecting point for filled Shoeboxes.
We are also holding a special service to gather the filled Shoeboxes, when you can hear more about what happens to the filled boxes.
Date – Sunday 17th November
Time – 10.30 am with refreshments from 10.15 am and also after the service which will last about hour.
