Hot Chocolate Van and Christingle

It was surprisingly fine for the free hot chocolate van, though chilly, but we crammed hot chocolate, whipped cream and marshmallows into cups from the specialist Henri van who worked non stop giving out free to over 72 kids and parents.

Then we had a super Christingle and enjoyed listening to ‘Assembly Bangers ‘ with Jason Manford in aid of Foodbanks which lots of Mums and Dads knew. Highlight was ‘Away in a manger’ with Rev Nichola holding a three week old baby borrowed from one of the Dads there. Not a dry eye in the place! Brought home the real meaning of IMMANUEL – God with us - clothed in human flesh like one of us.
