Chinese New Year Celebration Photo

Last Sunday we celebrated Chinese New Year, and it was good to have so many friends in the ‘Lounge’ – the church kitchen was alive with the smell of delicious cooking! I’m attaching a group photo; who do you recognize?



Do come along to 'OPEN-HOUSE’ next Sunday, 1st February, in the Emmanuel Church ‘Centre’ from 2.00pm until 4.00pm (14.00 - 16.00). You are always sure of a ‘welcome’.

Also next Sunday (Feb 1), between 5 and 7pm, you are invited to the International Tea at Storer House; try to bring something for the table to share with others. This is always an interesting event, and the speaker this month is Nigel Robinson. More Info – 01509 822295.

Photos @ 4th January and Invitation to the 11th' Open House

Hello Friends,

We all had a wonderfully enjoyable afternoon last Sunday, and I’d like to thank Sirupa and Atul Patel for bringing so many saris for the girls to dress up in (have you seen the pictures?); also for bringing food to add to the 'OPEN-HOUSE’ table – and for teaching us the stick-dance and bhangra! We must do it again. I lost count of how many came, but it was over 50, although not all are in the group picture. If you have any good photos of the event, then please send them to me at clive.hilton@googlemail.com and I will put them in the 'OPEN-HOUSE’ album for all to see.





The next meeting of 'OPEN-HOUSE’, will be on Sunday, 11th January, in the Emmanuel Church ‘Centre’ from 2.00pm until 4.00pm (14.00 - 16.00). There is always someone new to meet!!

It will soon be the Chinese New Year (4707 ~ ‘Year of the ?’). We might have a party, but you’ll have to come on Sunday to find out more!

May you all know God’s blessing,

Clive

Happy New Year

Hello Friends,

Wow, doesn’t time fly – tomorrow is the first day of January, 2009 – so we’d like to wish you all a very ~
Happy New Year.

The next meeting of 'OPEN-HOUSE’, on Sunday, 4th January, will be in the Emmanuel Church ‘Centre’ from 2.00pm until 4.00pm (14.00 - 16.00). It will be a very special time, because our good friend Sirupa Patel is coming with some friends, bringing lots of colourful Indian clothes for us all to try on – yes, men as well as ladies! So do come along – it will be great fun – and bring your camera!

Judith and I went for a lovely walk on Boxing Day – the weather was sunny and crisp, and it was such a pleasure to see the newly ploughed fields, and birds swooping in the air; what did you all do over the Christmas holiday – do come and tell us on Sunday, and bring some photos with you.

Thursday (tomorrow) is New Years Day which I’m sure many of you will celebrate in some way. And the ’12 Days of Christmas’ ends on January 6th (Epiphany), when all the decoration and tinsel is taken down.

May you all know God’s blessing,

Clive
