At St Ed's will have been collecting Christmas Shoeboxes as part of the Blythswood Care appeal 2021.Our 'Shoebox service' was held on Sunday 31st October 2021. A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed- to date we have 69 boxes in church.We are aware some people may have boxes ready - but have not yet managed to transport them to St Ed's. We are accepting boxes up to this Friday (5th November) - the church is open each day so please drop them in if you can.The boxes will then all go to our local Blythwood Care collection centre. This year Blythswood hope to be able to deliver boxes and bags to Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine.Shoeboxes are sent to people of different ages in the poorest parts Eastern Europe and beyond for Christmas. The boxes are filled with a variety of items to bring warmth and cheer to people who have very little. The shoe boxes have a wonderful impact on the lives of their recipients. They help to assure these people that they are remembered, prayed for and loved by the Lord.Our prayer for those receiving the shoeboxes is that they know God loves them, just as he loves each of us so deeply.
