St Michael's Church Tilehurst'Messy Church' – Christingle
The Sunday Service on 24th January 2021 had a Christingle theme.
The Children's Society works to transform the hopes and happiness of young people facing abuse, exploitation and neglect. It supports them through the most difficult challenges, and it campaigns for social changes to improve the lives of the most disadvantaged children.
In common with other charities, the pandemic has affected the Children's Society's ability to raise funds. We can't hold our normal Christingle service, but can still raise funds for the Children's Society. I have set up a fund-raising page which enables donations straight to The Children's Society. Please donate to The Children's Society if you feel able to, so that St Michael's can continue to support their important work, as we have in the past.
Thanks very much.
