ST GEORGE’S RAINBOWS We've opened a brand new Rainbows Unit at St. George's! Rainbows is all about developing self-confidence, building friendships, learning new things and having fun - girls get their hands dirty with arts and crafts, trying out cooking and playing games. Rainbows is all about learning by doing, take part in lots of different activities with girls their own age (5-7 years old). The unit opened on 6th November 2013, and will meet between (term4.30pm and 5.30pm each Wednesday (term-time only). If you have family, friends or neighbours with girls aged between 5 and 7, please tell them about St George’s Rainbows. For more information on our unit, please contact Claire Coram at [email protected] OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD A big thank you to those who provided gift-filled shoeboxes -23 were collected in total from the South Barrow Team; each one will bring joy and hope to a needy child this Christmas. In the Barrow and Furness area, an amazing 1010 boxes were donated an increase of 410 boxes on the 600 given in 2012! The local co-ordinator of Samaritan’s Purse, Mark Callaghan, has been in touch and says, “I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone that got involved with Operation Christmas Child this year. On behalf of Samaritan’s Purse I would like to say well done to everyone that has contributed to the campaign this year. Please continue to pray for the safe passage of the boxes to the Ukraine and for the children and their families that receive the boxes.”
