Hello everyoneGiven the rising incidences of Covid in our local primary schools, once again we are sadly having to postpone this year’s Christingle and Gift Service, which had been due to take place on 5th December.However, as we do each year, we would still like to invite you to donate Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children and teenagers in the Selby area. As we did last year, please would you bring your gift/s and leave on the veranda at the Brayton rectory behind St Wilfrid’s Church by Sunday 5th December at the latest.As always, please wrap gifts and indicate if they are for a girl or boy and the approximate age range they are suitable for.Gifts for teenagers would be very welcome, such as make up, deodorant, shop gift tokens.Thank you!For more information please contact me, Revd. Pete, on 01757 704 707 or at rector@stwilfridsparish.com
