Christmas is coming!
As in previous years, Worthing Church is supporting the Samaritan’s Purse ‘Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal’.
The idea is simple: get an empty medium-sized shoebox, wrap the box and lid separately with colourful paper. Attach a boy/girl label to the lid and choose an age category – 2-4, 5-9, 10-14. Fill your shoebox with fun toys, hygiene items and school supplies.
The deadline for getting your box to Celia is 10th November (Remembrance Sunday).
