Maggy Shaw our “SHOE BOX LADY” organised St. Cuthbert's contribution to
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
During the autumn, together with lots of other churches and schools in the area, members of St. Cuthbert’s Church, have been preparing Christmas Gifts in a SHOE BOX for some of the world’s disadvantaged children.
It may be small but your gifts in a SHOE BOX can change a child’s life. For some of the world’s most disadvantaged children your gift of a SHOE BOX could be the first Christmas present they have ever received in their lives.
The gift of a shoe box will make a child feel special and valued, and let them know that we care about them.
WE SEND 83 SHOE BOXES
Children from the Corner Pre-school (who meet in the St. Cuthbert’s Centre), St. Cuthbert's Rainbows, Guides & Brownies, as well as members of the congregation have enjoyed choosing gifts and then wrapping and filling a total of 83 SHOE BOXES as part of the worlds largest children’s Christmas project.
