At a time when demand is increasing, your donations are essential for the Foodbank to be able to offer help and support for those in difficulties in our local communities. Thank you!

Donations can be left at our church in the basket in the foyer. The church is also used as a distribution point and support centre for the Foodbank on Thursdays.
Operation Christmas Child - Shoebox Appeal
Thatcham Baptist Church will be acting as a local drop-off centre for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes again this year.
Each year these boxes are sent to children in need around the world. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to show God’s love in a tangible way.
National Collection Week: The church will be open between 9am and midday from 11th – 17th November to take delivery of shoeboxes from our local community. We need volunteers to be at the church to receive boxes, between 9am and midday, during the week of Monday 11th – Sunday 17th November.
Filling Day: We will be holding a shoebox filling event at the church on: Saturday 9th November between 10am and 1pm. Please do come and join us to fill some boxes and enjoy a cuppa. Bring your filling items (and some spares!) to pack a box or two and spread some Christmas joy.
Further Information: If you would like to find out more about this project, please visit https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child for advice on packing your shoebox go to https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk/what-we-do/operation-christmas-child/how-to-pack-a-shoebox
If you have any questions or would like to chat about helping, then please contact: Dan and Leah Lowe / Sharon Amirli

Church is the people, not the building
Covid-19 may have changed our style of worship in 2020 but we are delighted to keep the benefits allowing you to join us, in person, on Sunday mornings from 10:30am or you can join our livestreamed services at
www.facebook.com/thatchambaptist/live
Please continue to be considerate to others and, if you are unwell or showing any COVID symptoms, please stay home.
LIVESTREAMING: as we are continuing to livestream our services we will endeavour to not film children unless pre-agreed. However please be aware that:
If you sit on the front 2 rows, you may be caught on camera.
If your child appears unexpectedly on the stage or within the front 2 rows, they may be caught on camera. We would ask that if you do not want your child to appear on camera, you prevent this from happening.
