This year we have again given a Christmas Gift to the community in the form of our family fun event last Saturday. A big thank you to Deb Strapp and Simon Fullbrook for their organisation of such a great day.
Hundreds of people were at our Seacombe Gardens centre to enjoy carols, bbq, devonshire teas, crafts, jumping castles, family games, competitions and plenty more. It was great to see the centre packed out. It was great to see the number of volunteers that came on board for the day from throughout our church community.
The whole point was to give to our community a sense of celebration, fun and a pointer to Christmas. We will keep these gifts up in future years (perhaps not every year) and keep finding new ways of letting our community know that God came to be one of us at Christmas, and that the church is here as Christ's body with the world now.
