We have to say we are pretty proud today as a church! This morning our school hall was packed full of people of all ages - it was like one big family. Our annual All Age Carol Service this year saw more people than ever attend, and featured every age linked to this church. So many are new faces to the church community who we have built relationships with in recent months, some recent years. It was also great to have new faces worshipping with us as well, and the enthuasism was very electric at times. So today we shared in celebrating the coming of Christ with the Baby and Toddlers, and our family support officer did us proud! We celebrated with our Kingdom Kids, who wrote a drama for the event and also sang us 'following the star'. We celebrated with our youth group who wrote a presentation themselves and then engaged in a mime to 'Mary's Song'. The Band played today which is not a normal weekly thing, but they added so much with their piece that they played, and also accompanied some of the carols. Our Adults were not forgotten either, thanks to our adult ministries officer. Stuart Marshall and Trevor James both spoke amazingly on the gift of God that is theirs, and that was very special. The meeting started by singing 'Jesus Christ is here' from Go tell it on the mountain, and then into 'Give thanks to the Lord our God and King - His Love endures forever!' Indeed we saw and knew Jesus Christ among us, and give thanks that His love was evident among us. Who would have thought that the move from our centre to the school could so quickly show evidence of this? Sunday, December 10, 2006
ALL AGE CHURCH

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this morning's all age service. It was so great to see new faces, including parents and children from Bright Sparks and Kingdom Kids. It was also superb to see people who would not always be seen at the front of the church speaking about God in their lives, well done Stuart. Once again Trevor came unprepared, but inspired us all regardless. Our youth did us proud again with drama and their unfailing faith and witness.
As the first comment has said - Sunday morning, all age service was really amazing, there was so many children who were so absorbed in what was going on, it was a real blessing to see them. I would like to say a huge Thankyou to Stuart & Trevor for all they said, and for being so inspiring, thankyou very much both of you.
