Apart from today’s service having a multicultural theme, it was also a gift service. Presents of about £15 had been bought for nearly 70 children who will spend this Christmas in mother and baby homes, and women’s refuges, near to the church.
Those who had bought and wrapped these gifts brought them forward during a song. In addition, people brought unwrapped gift for the “Welcome Project” for asylum seekers, based at St Martin’s house.
All these gifts will be distributed in the next few weeks.
