A round up of wonderful Christmas activities connecting our churches to their communities.

Allerton URC

Allerton URC’s Christmas Fayre, held on 2nd December, raised the magnificent sum of £4,305.07. Junior Worship also worked very hard on the day to make £178.75 on their stall for the benefit of Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

The 22nd Allerton Beavers held their Christmas Nativity on 4th December in the sanctuary. Following the performance there was a raffle, tombola and donkey rides for small children. The money raised went to the Whitechapel Centre.
