We have received a great story from Westfield URC, Wyke, where Imogen (here pictured with Leilani), successfully applied for a Discipleship Development Small Grant to enable her to help with the Wyke Churches Together Christmas outreach. With the grant funding, Imogen was able to buy 150 of the URC’s Advent Packs which she added to the hampers the Wyke Churches Together were sending out via the local foodbank.
Imogen said “I am a 15 year old worshipper at Westfield URC and part of SHINE ( Serve Him In Everything ). I joined with others from Westfield in the Wyke churches together outreach during November and December. Using the Advent Packs and Nativity Activity sticker books I had bought using the with a grant from Synod it was great to put the advent packs in the daily foodbank parcels and also to put Church invitations, greetings and nativity activity sticker books in Christmas hampers which members from each of the Wyke churches delivered to local families in need. I was also able to give Advent packs and nativity Stickers to our youngest member of SHINE and to a youngster who comes to our coffee morning.”
Well done Imogen for your service to others!
