Big Brekkie @ St James' Parish hall, Christleton 18th May 2025

· by jonathangilliatt | May 12, 2025, 9:28 a.m.

Come and join us for the "Big Brekkie" Sunday 18th May 2025 at St James' Parish hall in Christleton.  We are raising funds for Christian Aid.

Christian Aid's new theme is their "Restore campaign". Please follow this link to help Christian Aid to continue the fight against injustice and poverty at https://www.christianaid.org.uk/get-involved/campaigns/restore-campaign

To see what the Parish hall can offer follow our link https://stjameschristleton.org.uk/index.php/parish-hall.

So do come along! We look forward to seeing you there! Donations for Christian Aid.


Everybody at St James' Church Christleton would like to say thankyou to all those who turned up to our Christmas Eve Carols around the Tree which was as popular as ever! There was mulled wine and mince pies afterwards! During the evening we collected for the Christian Aid Middle East Fund and the total raised was £608.55p.

Your help is so vital right now with the effects of the cold winter, hunger and disease, as it takes hold of the 2 million exhausted & displaced population. Gazans are sheltering in tents, under extremely dangerous building shells and some are even sleeping in the freezing cold open-air. Please follow the link below to get a clearer understanding about Christian Aid and their work under such heart-breaking circumstances.

Thankyou so much once again.
