Christmas Shoebox Countdown

We are once again collecting shoeboxes on behalf of the charity Teams4U. Leaflets are available in the churches and the benefice office.

In addition to filling shoeboxes for children there is also an option of putting together a shoebox for the home. For details of what to include and to download labels or the leaflet, please have a look at the website: http://teams4u.com/

Please bring your shoeboxes to the 9.30am service on 17 November in Milton church.  There are a few empty shoeboxes in Milton church.
