Christians across the country are preparing #Christmas gifts and treats to give away to people who may not otherwise get gifts at Christmas. This year is the fourth year of 'Love Christmas', run by the Church Revitalisation Trust.
The project, known as 'Love Christmas', grew out of 'Love your Neighbour', when Churches supported people affected by the COVID lockdown.
Here's a #podcast #report about 'Love Christmas', featuring the work of St Nicholas Church in Bristol, in 2021:
