This year Christmas Lunch on Jesus will once again be providing Christmas boxes containing turkey, vegetables, potatoes, gravy, Christmas pudding, crackers, chocolates...everything you need for a really enjoyable Christmas lunch. We'll be distributing them to families and individuals on low income who otherwise would struggle to afford a Christmas meal. Each box will also contain a candle, a booklet about the meaning of Christmas, and an invite to Christmas services in Derby.
To celebrate our link between Derby and Calcutta Cathderal and City Centre churches, we're also partnering with friends there to provide Christmas boxes for some of the poorest people in Calcutta's slums, containing rice, lentils, dahl, biscuits, sweets... a Christmas feast for those who live in poverty on a daily basis. We'll also be including a celebration candle and a New Testament.
