Light Party update: 
Sadly we are unable to run a light party this year so instead we have made up Light Packs for children to have fun with over half term. As part of this we are inviting them to create a tissue paper ‘stained glass window’ and stick it up in their window, lighting a candle behind it on the 31st to ‘Be the light in your street.’ They can then send in photos to Jess who will create a collage of all these lights shining in Ware. We would love for you to be a part of this. We cannot provide all the grown-ups with the resources but if you can create something for your window or light a candle on the 31st then please do join in being a light on you street and send in photos to Jess children@christchurchware.co.uk.
Some of the pages from the pack are available HERE if you would like to pass these onto people.  Please also be praying for the children who receive these packs.
