The best Present of all

Thanks to Nicola and Hamish who led us in a very creative service based on "Pass the Parcel".

We reflected on all the presents we received over Christmas and marvelled at the wonderful gift of Jesus our father God gave us.

And with that gift of Jesus we can all form a deep, meaningful and purposeful relationship with.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the New year.

Scouts on Sunday

Following on from our theme of "Relationships" , this month we covered "Relationships within our Community" and who better to do this but the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

They created and lead the whole service from start to finish and even provided the BBQ (in the freezing cold). It was great to hear the testimony from a person who has been a scout leader for more than 30 years. The prayer time was also very interesting and interactive, we all had to make a knot and tie them together, until there was one long closed chain which symbolised our community in Winterslow

Over 100 people turned up of all ages and the service was well planned by Petra, Kay, Lesley and Jim...perhaps they would like to do another in the summer??

What is Food For Thought?

A couple of years ago a few of us in All Saints, Winterslow got together to explore the possibility of creating a more accessible, non-traditional and complimentary fresh expression of church within our village.

Much prayer and planning went into the original proposal and with the blessing of Nils, our vicar and the PCC we got the go-ahead to begin a monthly meeting in the village hall called Food For Thought.

With an emphasis on good food, short services, plenty for children to do and a fun, family atmosphere, many are finding it’s right for them. Now in it’s third year we’re still on a fast learning curve.

A survey told us, yes, people like it - we must continue, but we ourselves feel we’ve still a long way to go. It’s at times exciting, at times fun, at times frustrating and at times just plain old hard work, but, just like the people who come, we’re all on a journey and right now, there’s no place we’d rather be!
