At the services on Sunday 4th November, we will be looking at how God wants us all to be involved in His great plan of salvation and how we can all ‘do something’ for the kingdom of God. We might not be able to do everything, but that shouldn’t stop us from doing something! Come along and find out how you can serve God in our community… and ask God to give us new dreams and visions to live out our purpose and destiny in this generation. God has good plans for each one of us and has made the local church His plan for reaching the world with the good news of Jesus Christ!
One of the things we will be doing on that Sunday in particular is supporting the Salvation Army foodbank. Instead of a harvest festival of fresh produce, we are asking people to bring items to the services which will be passed on to the Salvation Army, In particular, we are looking for the following items to make up Christmas hampers for local families:
- Tea or Coffee
- Tins of ham and corned beef
- Jars of jam and lemon curd
- Bags of sugar
- Long life Milk
- Long life fruit juice
- Selection boxes
- Boxes of sweets
- Tubes of crisps/ packs of crisps
- Christmas pudding
- Box of savoury/ sweet biscuits
- Mince pies
- Instant gravy mix
- Stuffing mix
- Yorkshire pudding mix
- Pickled onions
- Chocolate Log
- Custard
Please make sure the items you bring have dates that are at least until the end of 2018 since these hampers will be given out at Christmas time.
In addition, the Salvation Army is involved in a ‘winter warmer’ project for local families, so if you can bring any of the following items to church on 4th November, that would be greatly appreciated!
- Hot Water Bottles
- Thermos Flasks
- Foil Blankets
- Warm Blankets
- Hat
- Winter Coats
- Gloves and Scarf sets
We may not be able to eradicate poverty totally… we may not be able to bring all of these items… but we can all do something, and as we do something, we help others to see the love of God in action.
