Shoeboxes

A couple photos of our shoeboxes which will be going to Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child.

We have collected over 30 boxes...some still to come.

See Change - I see you

Recently our small church took part in an advocacy project organised by Open Doors which raises awareness of gender based violence and sexual violence in conflict. It takes the place of a large banner petition made up of squares of white fabric with the words ‘I See You’ and a signature.

Many of the squares of fabric will be sewn together into a series of two-metre banners that will hang in Westminster Abbey’s Chapter House from 17-24 November 2019
 The Handmade Petition: I See You coincides with the conference of the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI), part of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The petition will be submitted to the government at that time.
Perhaps you could visit the installation at Westminster Abbey!

At the last counting, over 13,000 squares have been received! Here are some quick photos of our pieces. It was near the deadline, so I didn’t get proper photos. They are stacked, so there is some show through.
