Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a partnership with Prison Fellowship, giving us as a church the opportunity to help support local families this Christmas.
Over the past few years we've been privileged to work and build relationships with men in HMP Berwyn, many of whom have families and children who they won't see this Christmas. Angel Tree is an opportunity to provide a meaningful gift to a child, on behalf of their father in prison. This helps families build relationships and stay connected, which evidence suggests, reduces the risk of reoffending. For more information and to sign up click here. |

Weekend of Christmas Kindness — Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th DecemberNormally at this time of year, we'd be giving away 100s of Christmassy treats at various events across the area. As we all know, this year is a little different, but we still wanted to show a little bit of God's love and generosity to people in our region.
So, on 12 and 13 December, we’re going to be having our Weekend of Christmas Kindness - giving away all kinds of Christmassy treats to our neighbours and those in the surrounding area. Why not join in the fun? For more information and to sign up click here. |
