We've once again been very careless and lost our sheep at St. Matthew's (https://rhonddaministryarea.co.uk/st-matthews-church-treorchy/)!

We'd like them to come home in time to see baby Jesus at our carol service on 21st December: can you help?

As you're doing your Christmas shopping around Treorchy, look out for the signs in shop windows and bring a complete list of names to the service for a chance to win prizes!
