Armley-based Leeds City Mission is aiming to raise £500 for outreach projects this Christmas, with a drive to encourage Christians in Leeds to give the gift of a Christian book.
The small but significant Book Booth, which forms part of the LCM city mission hub in Mistress Lane, is the only remaining retail outlet for Christian books in the whole of Leeds and Bradford.
It boasts sections on theology, biography, devotionals and bible study, and includes both new and second hand Christian books, as well as a selection of bibles.
The £500 raised from sales of the books will go towards LCM’s “Sock it to Them” project, which purchases socks for local prisoners, and forms part of its Prison Chaplaincy outreach.
The Christian Book and Card Booth – an integral part of the Leeds City Mission Restore Shop – is open Monday to Friday (apart from Wednesdays) 10am to 3pm. It will also be open Saturday mornings on 30 November and 7, 14 and 21 December. Browsers are welcome to free hot chocolate and biscuits as they peruse the books.
Leeds City Mission can be found at Mistress Lane, Armley, Leeds LS12 2LJ. All welcome. Cash only.
