Get in the Picture
Saturday 3rd/10th December.
We joined many churches all over the country offering people the chance to Get in The Picture. We set up a stable scene and provided beautiful costumes so that passers-by could have their chance to be in a Nativity scene. Photographs were taken which were put online where people could download them or could send them as e-Christmas cards.At the same time they could hear the Christmas story.
These are some of the pictures.

Home Mission lunch
Sunday 13th February
The aim this year was to bring down the cost and to raise more money, and this was acheived! About 60 people were fed for about £45, by using cheaper ingredients. We all had a wonderful meal at £3 each, and Home Mission comes off better, too!
