Shoebox Time

It's nearly that time of year when thousands of people in the UK and indeed across the world will be filling shoeboxes with Christmas gifts for children that they don't know and children that they will never meet. Why do we do it? Because God loves us, and because God wants to show his love for the world through us.

Once again this year we will be a processing centre for boxes at the church. Somewhere between 3000-4000 boxes will pass through the church in a couple of weeks, and these boxes will then make their way to Swaziland. Once there thousands of children and thousands of families will get a box - a message that you are not on your own, you are not forgotten, you are loved.
