Christmas Hampers
Over the last few years ACF has had the privilege of donating Christmas hampers to some of those in need in our local community, a practice we hope to continue this year. Donations of non-perishable food items e.g. tinned goods, tea, coffee, sugar, Christmas pies, etc., will be gladly accepted at the church, up to and including Sunday 16th December. After morning worship on this date, volunteers are requested to stay behind to help put together the hampers for distribution. Please speak to Helen Prakesh or David Young for further information.
