Love in a Box
This annual initiative by MUSTARD SEED RELIEF MISSION (Reg. Charity 1129396) sends shoeboxes of Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe, and has sent over 30,000 per year since 1992.
Locally the URC church (contact Jean Cleare [01297 33461]) has undertaken to fill 50 boxes, with the help of other local churches and individuals.
A leaflet is available from local churches or online at www.msrm.org.uk from early September which gives lists of age appropriate items for each shoe box.
A donation of at least £4 is also requested with each box to go towards transportation costs.
Pick up a leaflet.
Please be as generous as you can be for the Christmas season of gift sharing.
Thank you.
