Love in a Box
New Malden URC have asked us to partner in their Love in a Box Christmas Appeal. This is part of the work of Mustard Seed Relief Missions (www.msrm.org.uk).
The request is for households to fill a shoe box full of presents for a child to receive at Christmas (suggestions are below). This is a great opportunity for our children to learn to be generous to others. The presents will be for children living in challenging situations in Maldova.

The boxes need to be filled with items suitable for whichever age group you decide to choose. Please indicate the gender and the age category of the child to receive the box you are putting together.
