Advent Boxes
A huge thank you to all those involved in putting together the Advent boxes that went out to GBC households last weekend. Hayley Beckett, Hazel Bray, Debbie Mickelburgh, Emma Saunders and Holly Carter put them all together and a team of delivery drivers distributed them. They have nearly all gone out now - do please let us know if you haven't received yours yet. Thanks to Colin for the photo of his box - turned into the setting for his nativity scene.

The Prayer Room is now open again.
Thanks to Stephanie for designing another really helpful layout and set of resources in the room. She writes, This time of year is often a time for reconnecting with God, family and friends. It is a time of Christmas lists and wishes. It is a time for thinking of charities and needs around the world. In December and January our prayer room theme is ASK. Why not visit and express your prayers to God in a different way on any of our three Walls?
If you would like to book a one hour slot to use the room, reply to this e-mail or phone the office and we will get back to you to arrange it.
