Leaflets giving details of how you can support the Mission to Seafarers
will be available in church from 12th July.
There is an even simpler and very practical way that you can make a
difference, whilst enjoying a relaxing moment and using up odds and
ends of wool. Knitted items made by you, with love, helps seafarers
arriving in the UK and around the world during the long, cold days and
nights spent on the open seas. From woolly hats to fingerless mittens,
each item of knitted clothing finds a home and the seafarers they9re
matched to are extremely grateful for the extra warmth!
