2) Christmas Cards
Cards which publicise services at Christmas will be available on Sunday beside coffee. Could you help deliver them? They are in small size bundles with clear instructions about where to deliver them. Christmas is a time when many people do want to come to church. So you can play a vital part in the process of them meeting Jesus by taking an envelope and covering one street.
The area St Andrew Blackadder is responsible for is the East of the town. If you live in the West (or outside N Berwick) you are welcome to take a few cards and give them to family, friends, colleagues and neighbors.
