Blessing Parcels

At Come Closer, we partner with local agencies including: MK Act, MK Storehouse, and MK Money Lifeline. At Christmas time, we put together parcels that include branded hygiene products, including luxury body sprays, hand creams/soaps, shower gels, shaving foam, body creams, makeup etc. For the clients at MK Act, we also include a sterling silver piece of jewellery. Our blessing parcels are each thoughtfully wrapped at a Christmas wrapping event.

Join us on Saturday, 16th November, for a special morning as we wrap the Come Closer Christmas Blessing parcels. To help us with catering, it would be great if you registered for a free ticket here.

We’re meeting at Newport Pagnell Baptist Church starting at 9:30 am and finishing around 12 noon. The morning will include a time of worship, some laughter, a short reflection and plenty of time to wrap the blessing parcels. And of course, because it’s Come Closer, some delicious brunch pastries, fruit and drinks. The event is free, with donations welcomed on the day, or, you can donate via our Just Giving page.

We can’t wait to see you for what will be a special morning!

What are the blessing parcels?: Each December at Come Closer, we deliver over 120 parcels to three local charities – MK Act (women’s refuge), MK Storehouse and MK Money Lifeline. Each parcel is beautifully wrapped in our packaging this morning, containing lovely beauty/toiletry products. The blessing parcels are mostly for women, but we also do around a dozen teen boys and teen girls, along with around 35 parcels for men. So, if you’d like to pick up some donations to bring along, that would be great – things like branded shower gels, hand creams, hand soaps, body lotion, deodorant sprays, face cream, etc.
