Preston Bissett and Marsh Gibbon churches are joining together to support Milton Keynes
Women’s Refuge by donating Christmas gifts for the women and children in the refuge. In
addition to women seeking refuge, there are currently 38 babies and children in their care.
Villagers are invited to support this effort. Gifts must be unwrapped, new not second hand
and appropriate for babies and children up to the age of 10. It would also be appropriate to
donate gifts for the mums. In addition to toys and games, hats, gloves and scarves would be
welcome. David Hiscock has listed a number of suggestions on page 5 of the November “Life
Together”.
Ron Aspinall, The Laurels, Leys Lane, 07860 800471 and Graham Gulliver, Church Farm Barn,
Main Street, 01280 847535 are the Preston Bissett collection points or, better still, bring them
to our Village Service on December 1 st and join in singing the first carols of the Christmas
season.
The deadline for donating gifts is December 7 th .
Thank you.
St John the Baptist Church
