Shoebox Sunday 2018
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed a shoebox to Operation Christmas Child.
Through Operation Christmas Child, we send shoeboxes packed with toys and supplies to needy children around the world to bring some joy and love at Christmas to children in the poorest parts of the world who might otherwise get nothing.
We collected 61 boxes this morning, which will be combined with the boxes from Cornwell and delivered to the collection point on Monday.

Messy Church : Sat 3rd November – Remembrance
As we approach the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, it is only natural that our theme for this Saturday’s Messy Church be Remembrance.
But the solemnity of the occasion doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun as we explore our theme, producing poppies and thinking about peace. This should be a great opportunity for all the family to spend time together exploring these themes.
Our hot meal is Jacket Potatoes and Beans, with Cake and Custard for dessert.
So please join us this Saturday – November 3rd at 3:30pm – for our usual mix of Fun, Faith and Food.
