Once again we are pleased with the very generous response from our Parish. Through your donations we have made eight family's Christmas much happier with hampers and through your generosity the people using the services of St. Matthew's-Maryland will be brighter. Thank you to all those who helped to assemble and deliver the Christmas hampers and to those who delivered the items to the Community Ministry. From Alan Livingston and Barbara Bater, Christmas Hamper / St. Matthew's-Maryland Community Ministry Co-ordinators.
