Easter Services at Christ Church

Our Christmas Charities this year are:

OASIS
Oasis is our group of solo parents who meet to give each other support and fellowship.
If you would like to make a donation to support the work of Oasis gifts can be placed in the collection box or made online.

Christians Against Poverty – CAP
Covid-19 has meant continuing hardship for some. We encourage you to donate a packet or tin to the local Foodbank by buying and donating at the local supermarkets. They all have donation baskets in store as you shop. If you know someone who is struggling with debt please encourage them to talk to us to explore how we can help and support them.

You could consider making a financial donation to support those in need through CAP, Oasis and our existing Hardship Fund. Gifts can be placed in the collection box or made on line here.
Or via bank transfer:
Account name: Christ Church Ware PCC
Account Number: 00086783
Sort Code: 40 52 40

Please mark the gift ‘Christmas Appeal’.
If you are a UK tax payer please fill in a Gift Aid envelope so the charities can receive 25p more from the government for each £1 you give. To download a Gift Aid Form or to find out more about Giving at Christ Church click here.

A place to relax with your baby and to meet other new parents and a team of experienced volunteers. The group will run weekly on a Friday from 1.30pm – 2.30pm. Our small group sessions are open to any parent and baby or babies up to 9 months of age (or pre-crawling).

Covid safe measures will be in place and group numbers will be limited in order to allow for social distancing. It will be voluntary for attendees and volunteers to wear a face covering.
