The Empty Christmas Tree

On Sunday the 4th of December Scots Church will once again have an “Empty Christmas Tree.”

During this service Congregational Members are asked to bring along an appropriate toy for a child aged between 0 and 13; or a monetary donation that will be used to purchase a gift. These gifts are donated to children of people in prison through OARS.

Gifts should be left unwrapped and should not contain any depiction of violence e.g. any weapons, police vehicles, fire engines, ambulances, soldiers etc. as this can be quite traumatic for children who may have witnessed their parent being arrested or hurt in any way. Please consider this worthy cause and the children and prisoners it supports
