Drop-off point closes on Tuesday 23rd

This year we re acting as an official drop-off point for Operation Christmas Child’s Shoebox appeal.  We can collect boxes up to and including Tuesday 23rd November.

 

Drop-off point details

Just bring your completed shoebox to the Church Office open Monday - Friday, 9-1pm and 2-5pm.  We also have leaflets available for anyone who wants to partake in the appeal. If you need to contact the church office, telephone 01225 835228 or email office@stphilipstjames.org

 

See below for other drop-off points in the Bath area.

What is the shoe-box appeal?

CAN YOU IMAGINE waking up on Christmas morning without any presents?

For many children in places like Armenia, Bosnia, Romania and Russia that's just what happens.

YOU can make a difference

Operation Christmas Child will collect thousands of shoeboxes packed with toys, sweets and gifts and take them to many of these deprived children.  What a better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus than to give a present to a child who could otherwise have nothing

 

How to take part

 

1        Take one leaflet from the office for each present you want to send

2        Find a shoebox

3        Fill it with gifts

4        Put in the postage costs

5        Bring the box to the Church between Monday 8th November and Friday 19th November
