CAP Christmas Hampers  Christmas is a time for celebration but for many of our CAP clients, Christmas is a time of stress and feeling guilty as finances are very tight. So to spread some joy this Christmas, we would like to give our clients a special treat in the form of a Christmas hamper.  As a church, we would love you to join us, if you are able, to help collect together some items that will bring a smile this Christmas.  Some ideas of what you could contribute are on the leaflet at the back of Church There will be a box at the back of church for you to leave any donations by 8th December.  Any questions or queries contact [email protected] .  Thank you for your support and generosity in blessing our clients!

Christmas Explored - Thank you!
Wow, what an incredible week!  We've had the joy of welcoming approx. 1000 children and adult from schools across Ware, Hoddesdon, and nearby villages.  They stepped into the story of Christmas—wandering through Mary's home, discovering Joseph's workshop, strolling the shepherds' fields, and visiting the Magi's Bedouin tent. They even met a grumpy innkeeper, saw real chickens, and ended their journey at the stable with a live Nativity scene!
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible—whether you lent equipment, helped build and light the scenes, provided sound, acted in the story, or prayed for the event. Your support brought the Christmas story to life in such a memorable way!
For those of you who have kindly lent us "Stuff" - this has been placed on the Mezzanine in the Church – please collect.  Thank you  Jess
