Blessing struggling families with Love in a Box

Mark Chamberlain —

During the week well over 100 shoe boxes of gifts were sent off to the City Mission for distribution to families in need

So many St Barnabas parishioners participated in Love in Box this year. Some parents created a family project by encouraging their children to fill a shoe box with toys and useful items. Single parishioners reached out to children with prayer as they filled their shoebox. Children and families filled shoe boxes at Messy Church last Saturday. And children have been filling shoe boxes at Fridayzone for a number of weeks.

Special thanks to Angela Brown who supplied shoe boxes and spearheaded this amazing ministry. Thank you for your response St Barnabas! You have brought much joy to children and families all over our city this Christmas.
