On Sunday 3 November during the Benefice service, Revd. Nigel blessed almost 170 shoeboxes - filled with Christmas gifts for gipsy families in Romania.
The boxes are now on their way to the collection point to join others, ready to be transported by lorry later this month.
You can read more in the Autumn edition of The Circular or by visiting the Amen Trust website here: www.amentrust.co.uk
This year our local coordinator, David Fletcher, will travel to Romania to meet up with the volunteers as they distribute the boxes.
Thanks to all the families and schoolchildren who filled and wrapped so many boxes and contributed to the cost of transport - well done!
