A total of 22 boxes was sent from Fleet URC this year in response to the Shoebox Appeal. The whole church was involved, and when Maureen Grew (representing Operation Christmas Child) came to morning service to receive the boxes we were able to give her a cheque as well, as a contribution towards transportation costs. Maureen spoke of the joy she had personally witnessed when children received the boxes.
We send the boxes in God’s name as a practical way of spreading God’s love around the world.
