Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Appeal
It is that time of year again when preparations are al-
ready underway for the shoebox appeal but I wanted
everyone to know that Buckden will be taking part in
the above appeal. Shoe boxes will be collected in No-
vember and Buckden Methodist Church will be a drop
off centre for these. Dates will be confirmed at a later
date.
Operation Christmas Child is a worthwhile charity mak-
ing a difference at Christmas, by giving shoe boxes
containing small gifts to children in poor countries.
Leaflets are available and patterns for knitting puppets.
This year I have 2 new puppet patterns Hello Kitty and
a Lion and they are delightful to knit. Thank you to
those who have already knitted items and given them
to me, it is much appreciated.
If you would like more information then please contact
