Star of Christmas – JESUS

admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 01:58:15 +0000

Purposes:
- To celebrate with our community the Lord Jesus’ Birthday
- To create an event that presents God’s message in a sensory way
- To honour our creative God with our creatice gifts
- To inspire and encourage people to understand more of our Lord Jesus

‘The Star of Christmas – Jesus’, or STAR as it is commonly called, has been run by our church family since 2002. Originally run annually, it is now held every second year.

STAR has been held once at The Orchard (Click here to view photos). In fact, STAR opened the afternoon following our first service. With moving and STAR preparation all happening simultaneously it created a highly challenging, but rewarding, few weeks!
Now we are settled at The Orchard, and are all familiar with the space, we are looking forward to this year’s STAR event.

Each Star year we try to highlight something new about the Lord, and His relationship with His people. This is done by a huge team of multi-gifted people who create visual displays to tell sotries about our wonderful Saviour.
Also, a supper/cafe area is provided for people to come and share time together – with a Christmas sales area , including fresh produce and home baking, a book stall and a kids table.
Evening programmes hosting an array of talent, including our own STAR choir, perform most evenings.

All who came really got into the swing of things and had a great night.
They must have all been pretty light on their feet as I haven’t heard of any broken toes…

We had a fantastic night tonight. As you can see by the photos everyone enjoyed themselves.
We had the both the Junior and Senior Rally here together. The Seniors got busy – and a bit messy – making candles in wierd shapes, and the Juniors got busy – and maybe a bit sweaty – working on their Sports Badge.
