On the other
table were unwrapped gifts of items that would be special for asylum seekers
being cared for by the Welcome Project at St Martin’s house, the diocese of
Leicester headquarters. All those organising the gift service were thrilled by
the generosity of the congregation.
Giving is an
integral part of the Christmas festivities as we remember the greatest gift of
all; the gift by God of his only Son, Jesus. It’s a joy to be able to share
these gifts with those who might otherwise receive little, this Christmas.
