The HOPE steering group has begun to meet again following the summer break. Thoughts are turning towards new ways of working together in the coming year. Some established events will take place once again:
CAMELS: The camels will walk through the town on 21 December and the children will be involved in the nativity play that will take place at the 7pm service in Avendale Church followed by the bazaar.
CHRISTMAS EVENT - BUBBLEGUM AND FLUFF: Plans are developing to bring the children's Christmas activity, designed by Hamilton Presbytery, called Bubblegum and Fluff to the P6 classes. It will take place in the first week of December and volunteers from each Church are required to help with fun activities, singing, story telling, all with the idea of presenting the 'real' Christmas story and debunking the myths. Contact Maxine if you can help.
EASTER 2010: Following the success of last year's Easter Pilgrimage, we would like your views on what should be arranged for 2010. It is felt that simply repeating the Pigrimage this year may have less impact. Other ideas include a Passion Play with or without professional help. What do you think? If you have any ideas about how the Churches can work together, please let Maxine know.
