Special collections for charity at our Christmas services

There will be special collections for charitable causes at Christmas services this year 2015 as follows:

Christmas Eve: 2pm and 3.30pm Crib Services CHRISTIAN AID

Christmas Eve: 11.15pm Midnight Communion PACT

Christmas Day: 8am and 9.30am Communion services CAMBODIA HOPE ORGANISATION

Canon David Hodgson Rector said: "At Christmas especially our thoughts and prayers are with those most in need both locally and in other parts of the world. PACT based in Reading and Oxford works to bring lasting hope and a home to vulnerable children in our Thames Valley area by finding foster and adoptive parents; Cambodia Hope works against human trafficking and labour exploitation with vulnerable children and adults living in extreme poverty, and Christian Aid is the British churches' own development  agency working for a world free of poverty with many different projects and groups globally. All Saints Church has direct personal links from Wokingham to every one of these charities."
