Teams 4U Shoe Box Appeal 2025 🎅🏻🎁
Nikki Matthews, one of our pastoral workers, runs a shoebox appeal each year so that needy children can have a gift at Christmas. The boxes, this year, are going to areas across Europe where there are displaced and needy children, some from war zones including Ukraine and Russia, who are now in surrounding countries.
There has been a great response to the 2025 appeal. Many thanks to everybody who has filled a shoebox or responded to the appeal in other ways. The collection is now closed for 2025 and the shoeboxes are on their way to children in Eastern Europe.
You can find out more about the appeal on the Teams4U website

Foodbank 🥫Donations
We have decided to make the 4th Sunday of each month Foodbank Sunday. Those coming to any of our churches that day are invited to bring an item or two of non-perishable food and /or toiletries if they are able to do so.
Donations of food go to Wirral Foodbank and help local families in need.
Reverse Advent Calendar
Wirral food bank are inviting people to complete a reverse advent calendar, where an item of food for the food bank is added to a box each day in December. The details can be downloaded below.
The foodbank had a special appeal for Harvest 2025 and were very grateful for the generous response from St Mary’s and St Peter’s Churches. We sent off 299 kilos, almost a third of a ton, to the foodbank and they sent the certificate of appreciation below.
Prayer Shawls
We have some lovely prayer shawls in church, lovingly knitted and blessed. They are a well loved part of our Healing Ministry.
If anyone would like one for themselves or others, please ask at church.
