Christmas Gifts 2008

Again this year we will  be supporting the work of the Birmingham City Mission. From November onwards there will be boxes in the Wilberforce Hall at St. Nicholas and both Church Centres to receive gifts for BCM.    They will be presented at the Christmas gift services (7th December at St Stephen’s and 14th December at St Nicholas as part of the All Age Worship and Parade).

BCM have given the following suggestions:

Toys

These should be new and unwrapped.

Toiletries and items suitable for teenagers are particularly welcome.

Food - for use at the resource centre

BCM give out monthly food/basics parcels and the items which they are often in need of are:-

  • Cereals
  • Long life milk
  • Tinned meat or fish
  • Tea
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Coffee
  • Sugar
  • Toiletries (toothpaste,  toilet rolls,  deodorant, shampoo, shaving foam)

They generally have good supplies of baked beans and soup so if these could be avoided that would be great.   If you wanted to collect food items specifically for Christmas, things like Christmas puddings and mince pies would be gratefully received.

St. Stephen’s Christmas Bazaar

The Christmas Bazaar at St. Stephen’s Church Centre takes place on Friday 7th November from 7 to 9 pm, and Saturday 8th November from 2 to 4pm.
