A Taize For Advent Service at St James church

This year toys donated at our Toy Service will will be delivered by our Mission Outreach team to Sarah Lodge which is a purpose built supported housing scheme. A Place of safety, a home for young pregnant and newly delivered women, their babies and young children under 5 years old. Sarah Lodge aims to enable single young parents and their children to access support and assistance to maximise their transition into independent living.

Also again we hope to support the Children’s Society and their
‘Away from Home’ children project by providing simple
toiletries such as tooth brushes & paste, shower gel, deodorant etc. There are still many thousands of these children and the society tries to keep them from harm, give them shelter and help them on
their way to a more secure life. We know there is not much time but please help us to help the Society help them & show them they are not forgotten this Christmas time.

14th December at 6.00 PM, St James church and St James School PTFA is hosting a family film
night.
