We endeavour to reach people by word, example and deeds. Below, I have gathered together some of the outreach projects that we are currently working on.

ALPHA Course

September 2008 we will start another 10 week Alpha course.

Covering topics like; Details

How can we have faith?
Why and How do I Pray?
Does God heal today?
What does the Holy Spirit do?

Each session starts with a simple meal, followed by a DVD to watch and space for discussion.

If you would like to know more, or join an Alpha course, then contact the Rectory.

Samaritans Purse

Each year we will organise the "LOVE IN A BOX" campaign. This is where we can fill a shoe box with Christmas presents for children.

This annual project enables caring individuals, families, schools, churches, businesses, and other organisations to fill ordinary shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, sweets, and other gifts for needy children around the world.
Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes.
Over 140 boxes were filled for the 2007 appeal, 260 boxes were filled for the 2008 appeal, all collected from St Giles Parish Church by "The Samaritans Purse".

The challange is on, can we collect more than last year?
