📚 Help Us Grow Our Children's Library 📚

One of the ways we share the Christian faith with children is through great books—whether that's during children's groups, family services, school work, or outreach events.

We've created an Amazon wishlist of books that we'd love to add to our collection. If you would like to support this ministry, you can view the wishlist here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/15VGKSDJQK93Y?ref_=wl_share

Every book donated will help us engage children with Bible stories, faith, prayer, and God's love in an accessible and enjoyable way.

We're also always keen to discover new resources, so if you have any recommendations for Christian books that children and families have particularly enjoyed, we'd love to hear from you in the comments or by message.

Thank you for your generosity, support, and encouragement. Please feel free to share this post with others who may be interested in helping.

God bless.

A big thank you to Jo, Paul, Jonathon, Jean, Mark, Linda, Diane, Jules and Dan for giving up your morning and coming to help clean and tidy St Michaels both in and out and high and low.
