Here are some pictures of the events that took place in Advent leading up to Christmas.
|
At the beginning of Advent we hold a Toy and Gift Service where we bring toys and gifts. The gifts we brought were for children in families being helped by Spurgeons Child Care and for the elderly residents of Gainsford House. |
A representative from Spurgeons told us about their work with families and of some of the problems faced by their clients that Spurgeons are able to help with. |
 |
 |
Later in December the Pre-SChool held a concert where the children sang Christmas songs and of courese... |
.... there was a very special visitor. |
 |
 |
Continuing our tradition of craft events, Pull a Cracker (for Chistmas) took place on the Saturday before Chistmas. We were able to use the newly finished church sanctuary for story time and singing. |
Some of our young people provided a musical interval. |
 |
 |
During the week we went out to sing carols for our older members in the neighbourhood.... |
.... followed by minces pies and coffee. |
 |
 |
The Sunday before Chirstmas was when our Carol Service took place. The congregation joined in all the traditional carols. |
|
John led us with a reflection on the meaning of Christmas. |
 |
 |
We heard the scriptures being read by church members and family |
|
And the choir sang seasonal songs, some old and others modern. |
