Shoeboxaction

Thank you to everyone who took part in theshoeboxaction last November.We have just received some statistics:

Het afgelopen jaar zijn er zo’n 45.000 kinderen die in armoede of oorlog leven, blij verrast met een bijzonder geschenk. Zij merkten dat er aan hen is gedacht!

De dozen gingen naar Moldavië (3.335), Oekraïne (1.357), Albanië (7.414), Bosnië (100), Bulgarije (100), Lesbos (1.009), Sierra Leone (15.001), Togo (7.486) en Roemenië (8.981).

November 2023

The Shoebox collection did very well this year. In total thirty shoeboxes had been provided to the congregation with the intent to fill them with little presents for children. These children live in poor conditions in various parts of the world i.e. Sierra Leone, Togo, and Afghani children in a refugee camp. At the end of the collection period we did receive a return of 21 boxes packed with goodies for the children. On the 6th of November we did deliver the boxes to one of the regional collection centres.

Thank you everyone (also on behalf of the children at the receiving end) who did contribute to this yearly event.

Coffee Rota

After the service everyone is always invited to Coffee/Tea. This is a nice and important part of our fellowship at St. Mary's. Regular members of our community can meet and have a chat about what is on their mind. Also guests are very welcome to join in. It is a joint effort of our community and it also needs people willing to spend some time before the service preparing coffee. So if you are able to contribute please add your name to the rota sheet which is on the notice board.
