CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS - in recent years as a Church we have organised sending Christmas Cards to persecuted Christians in different parts of the world. Over the last few years Pam Norton has organised the Christmas Cards but would like to have a break from this task. Would you be willing to organise these so that these brothers and sisters are blessed this year? What’s involved is buying Christmas Cards and stamps, then addressing the envelopes and asking members of the congregation to take the cards, to reimburse the postage and send the cards. For more information please speak to Pam and if you would be willing to help please see David Goodall.
