Bring joy this Christmas
Thank you to all those who have generously donated Shoe Boxes and items for Shoe Boxes
on behalf of Blythswood this year as they again take God's love to some of the poorest people in Eastern Europe.
If you would still like to fill a Shoe Box, we will be able to collect it from St Mary's Church, Upchurch up until Saturday the 11th of December.
The church is open most Wednesdays, so you can just pop your box in, and put it on the back pew near the font - thank you.
Filling a box can be quite expensive if you put in all the items suggested. Why not fill a box with a group of friends. Or, we are always short of socks, underwear, flannels, deodorants, sweets (not chocolate and with a good date). So you could put together a selection of any of these - they are always very handy.
How everything gets to those who need it.

Can you help?
Blythswood is short of help to sort boxes and pack them into cartons. If you would like to help with sorting/packing shoe boxes, your help would be really appreciated. Checking is going on at St Barnabas Church, Nelson Road, Gillingham, with parking available 500 metres from the church.
Covid regulations are in operation at the church and masks are to be worn. Please bring a hot drink and lunch or a snack.
Please phone Ralph on: 07847 205431 to book a spot to help.
