Beautiful Picture of Community

This Christmas we have lost one of our members of the Corps. It has been a very sad time for us, but what has emerged has been a beautiful out showing of love and care for everyone within the Corps community. When the sad news was announced during the carol service there was tears, but the people who were crying were comforted by people from the congregation.

This for me was a display of a loving, caring and accepting congregation. It is images that I will never forget. It is what I believe a true Christian community should look like in times of shared grief. People looking out for each other, helping each other through.

200 Days to go!!!!!

Today marks 200 days until commissioning. It's approaching fast! We have now finished all of our essays for 2007 and tomorrow evening is the carol service which marks the end of term.

Is it may age or has this year gone fast? Still, there is time to relax before the real work starts on Christmas day which we spend with people from our district of Poplar, Stepney, Whitechapel, and wherever else people come to us from (Strictly speaking Stepney and Whitechapel are not in our district but people choose to spend the day with us from these areas).
