Inspired by an idea seen on Facebook, one of our worship leaders, Zena, invited the fellowship at Raunds Methodist to collect Advent Calendars to donate to our local foodbank. Foodbanks help families who struggle to find funds to buy food; they are helped to get the essentials. As Advent Calendars are a luxury, we realised there could be some children and families who would not have them this year - our donations will mean children do not miss out on this way of anticipating Christmas.
Following Zena's call the church fellowship have collected and donated 40 Advent Calendars which will go to our nearest foodbank in Irthlingborough (who also serve families in Raunds).
Thank you for your generosity!
