You'd expect a lot of animated discussion with Anne Atkins around, and despite the distraction of creating and decorating our gingerbread houses, the room was buzzing with conversations and laughter as about 50 women enjoyed mulled wine and creativity together.  But everyone listened spellbound when Anne was being interviewed, as she responded with both humour and candid emotion to the various questions about facets of her life. 

She closed with her 'on the spot' thought for the day: a challenge to us all to take seriously the claims on our lives of Jesus. Did he exist? There seems to be a lot of evidence for it. And if so, he is worth investigation.  He is the one who makes all the difference both to life and beyond death.

Saturday 24th October saw another Greek Night in our hall. This time we were hearing about the effects of the economic crisis in Greece and Cyprus, and how people could help.

We are always excited to welcome new members of the church family here - Rufus Brokenshire made it to his first service aged only 4 days!

Congratulations to Phil and Rosalie.
