We’ve talked about the importance of sharing stories. Well, today we have the opportunity to do just that! Come to Chapel this morning at 10am where we will have the chance to share our advent challenge stories with one another, and celebrate the coming of Jesus at Christmas!

Happy Friday everyone! Just the weekend to go and then we’re there! How have you found this Advent Challenge? We’d love to hear your feedback – also, this Sunday morning at HBC (10am) we will have an opportunity to share our stories from this season. It would be great to see you there! Today’s challengeContinueContinue reading “21st Dec 2018”

Today’s challenge is another one to target the STUFF that we so easily accumulate. Can you find at least ONE item that you can donate to charity; a book, an item of clothing, or a toy? I recently saw a post on the internet where a parent showed a photo of their kids Santa SacksContinueContinue reading “20th Dec 2018”

Today’s challenge is one of my FAVOURITE, and probably quite a tricky one if you’re a book lover…! We’ve already talked about the importance of stories and I bet that many of you have a favourite one. Which books have inspired you, or make you feel nostalgic for your childhood? Are there books that haveContinueContinue reading “19th Dec 2018”

It’s a grey and rainy day but how could you make the place you live bright and sparkly? Today’s challenge is to spend 10 minutes collecting bits of rubbish!

You don’t evenContinueContinue reading “17th Dec 2018”

Today there are TWO family carol services going on in Harvington. If you’re super swift you could make it to both (like Hannah is going to!)! But at each service Hannah will have some booklets for you to take and give to your friends. These little booklets tell the story of the first Christmas; doContinueContinue reading “16th Dec 2018”

This might seem like an odd challenge when we’ve been doing a lot of thinking about community, but it is really important in highlighting the seriousness of looking after the world we live in. Your challenge today is to plant some bulbs. Not only will these [hopefully] turn into beautiful flowers, but hopefully they willContinueContinue reading “15th Dec 2018”

Todays challenge is similar to the challenge we did on the 10th; it’s to write a card or a letter. Only today it is to write to someone you don’t see very often; and not just one of those generic cards or letters that you send out in mass at Christmas… What do you REALLYContinueContinue reading “14th Dec 2018”

I don’t know about you, but since having kids I have become overwhelmed with STUFF; there are things everywhere. And it gets worse at Christmas doesn’t it? How can we be generous this Christmas without spending the earth? How can we be creative with our gifts, whilst saying NO TO STUFF! Here’s a list ofContinueContinue reading “13th Dec 2018”
