SATURDAY 19TH OCTOBER, 11.00 am - 12.30 pm (Winterton Hall, Plaistow)

+ Shoebox packing for Christmas Shoebox Appeal

This parish supports Link to Hope, a Worthing based Christian charity which helps disadvantaged families in Eastern Europe. In November, Link to Hope lorries take shoeboxes directly to families and elderly people. The Family shoeboxes contain something for everyone, not just toys and sweets for children. Every year each shoebox brings hope to poor families and tells them that someone far away cares about them.

We will be packing the shoeboxes on Saturday morning 19th October in the Winterton Hall, Plaistow from 11.00am to 12.30pm.

For more details, see the article under "Gleanings from the Parish News" (click "News & views" above).
