Our Bible verse of 2024 was “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” [Galatians 6:10]. The work we have been doing this year, but specifically over the Christmas period has been with the intention to 'do good to all people'.
Thank you to everyone who gave to our Christmas Hamper project. Through your amazing generosity we were able to bless even more people than we initially planned - we made 9 hampers in total! God moved in our plans, right to the very end when we discovered we had £50 unspent. Then a request was made to help one more family. Of course God always knew about their need and that he wanted us to be able to bless them too. Hampers contained some basic food items as well as Christmas food and treats. We were also able to include gifts such as chocolates, toiletries, and jigsaws. Ely Toy Bank also helped us by donating toys, books, games and cuddly toys for all the children of the families we were helping. After delivering the hampers we have received messages of thanks - so in turn I would like to take this opportunity to pass thanks on to everyone who helped and gave items/cash. One message said: "Please convey our incredible sincere gratitude for this unexpected sea of gifts to everyone who contributed to this cause." Without your support it would not have been possible to show the love of Jesus in this practical way.
Thank you.
Michelle, Beth and Elouise
