What's coming this Christmas Season?
Gift Service - Share the Joy of Christmas
Sunday 7th December
11am
St Nicholas Church, Alcester
Our annual Gift Service is coming up and this is a wonderful opportunity for us as a church family to share the joy of Christmas with children who might otherwise not receive a present this year.
We invite everyone to bring along a brand new, unwrapped gift (please, no pre-loved items) to the service. These gifts will be donated to Coventry City Mission, who will distribute them through their network of families in need across the community.
Gifts can be for children of any age, from babies through to teenagers (think toys, games, books, crafts, or toiletries for older children).
Let’s join together to bless families in need and help make this Christmas a little brighter for every child.
