BHA Gift Service – 8th December
We have arranged with Philip to come to Little Gaddesden for the 9am Service on the 8th December which is our annual ‘gift service’; he will collect all the much-needed items we are able to give. Please take this opportunity to give generously to those in desperate need in the Ukraine, suffering major hardship as the result of Russian aggression. Philip will be attending our Church service on the 8th and will have his van parked by the church for us to load our donations; if you are willing to help by bringing your donations to church on the morning of the 8th that will be great, but if easier for you to bring things to church in advance, then you can leave them by the font in the day or two prior to the Sunday. Anything you donate should be bagged robustly and clearly labelled identifying the content, for example bed linen, adult ladies’ clothing, adult men’s clothing, children’s clothing etc. Further details will follow so do look out for any up-dates and put the date in your diary.
