Decembers Food for Thought was very busy we had approximately 70 people!And we had a lot of new faces, which is always lovely to see.
We were also joined by a number of beautiful angels from Rainbows, so thanks to them for turning up in costume.
Rockface performed a short play about 3 Angels discussing the birth of Christ...in a contemporary way. I think we should do more drama, so if there are any budding actors out there please come forward ;-)
Hamish explained about Alpha, (and you can see the advert for alpha on this blog). don't forget there's an Alpha staring in January in Farley/Pitton, and we plan to start one later in the year, so watch this space.
Susan (the better half) lead us in how to make angels from close pegs and stars from folding card. I had a go at making the star though, I had real problems with my folding and had to call in one of the 10 year old helpers to sort me out...therefore Origami is not for me!
Lots of angels and lights were made which we lit when we prayed and sang silent night
When the service ended we all tucked into Curry, hot dogs and mince pies. We pretty much ate all the food.
I'm hoping there are lots of the Angels hanging on various Christmas trees across Winterslow, and when you gaze upon the wonder you or your child made, remember Christ this Christmas (and sing him happy birthday if you like)
When everyone arrived back we palyed a "Generation Game" style activity where opposing teams had to make a sheep in less than 5 minutes from various materials.
