The Kingdom Outreach group are planning to make sure that families who are struggling financially have a Christmas Dinner by providing a ‘Christmas on Jesus’ hamper.
Each hamper will contain a fresh chicken, vegetables etc, books telling the Christmas story - appropriate to the ages of children in the family, messages and cards etc.
The families who receive the hampers have been referred by Blackburn with Darwen Children’s Services but if you know of any family who would benefit from a hamper please let us know.
We can help in various ways – writing cards, packing hampers, collecting and delivering, praying, donating £30 which will provide one hamper.
Please see sheet in the Narthex and sign up if you feel able to help in any way or contact:-
