Reverse Advent

As we celebrate Jesus’ arrival into a poor family two thousand years ago and many miles away, we remember that many babies are born each year into poor families very close to here.

 

We have picked up links made last December with 3 local groups who support such families: 

 

3D and Bairn Necessities in Drumchapel

Birth, Baby and Beyond in Anniesland

St. Gregory’s foodbank in Kelvindale.

 

We plan to visit all three and see how we can help them to bring some Christmas cheer to their service users and we do hope you will again feel able to think of others as you shop for your own Christmas food and presents  We can think of it as creating a Reverse Advent Box.  Instead of opening the doors and taking things out, we open the lid and put something in each day.

 

So if you can join in, some suggestions to start our Advent journey.

​

Please bring to church before the service on on Tuesdays  11-12, or 6.30 to 7PM
