There has been a lot of giving going on this week. You were truly amazing on Wednesday!
You covered the pavement with your generosity. We had 3 hampers, and a boot full of toys from our Advent Gift Services held on Sunday. Plus we had the hampers and gifts from the whole village.
So A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It was truly humbling to see such love and kindness in action. You have certainly played your part to help those struggling to find joy this Christmas time.
The photos show Jackie Swift picking up the toys for The Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal and the tremendous Swale Foodbank gifts from the people of Upchurch.
I hope the joy of giving has given you a lovely warm glow. You deserve to enjoy it.
God loved us and gave us his son. You have taken his love and made sure it's shared.
May your Christmas be amazing. And may 2023 bring you many blessings.
January will be a cold and tough month for many so I will be gratefully collecting your Swale Foodbank donations again at the bus stop opposite the church on Wednesday the 4th of January 2023, between 10:30am and 11:30am.
God bless you all ❤️
