On Good Friday 2009 The
Church in South Woodham Ferrers
came together to stage ONE LIFE ~ ONE PASSION
Harley Hosanna!
(what a noise it made..)
We ran on two stages: one
in the Market Square...
...and the other in Queen
Elizabeth II Square,
where Jesus and Pilate came face-to-face
on the bandstand outside ASDA & McDonalds
Roman soldiers kept the
crowd in line -
anyone got a joke about being taken to the cleaners?
Each Christmas we share in a wonderful
'Christmas Journey',
with real animals in a farm-based presentation
of the Birth of Our Saviour, Jesus Christ
We have some dedicated
football fans
who like to share both their hobby and their faith
We even managed to
challenge a neighbouring parish
to a game of real footie on Remembrance Sunday - and we won!
In the run up to Christmas
we support the Friends of South Woodham Ferrers Station
with a spot of carol singing on the platform
and then down to Southminster and back, on board the "Santa Special".
Every month we have a
joint outing - here are some of us
in the garden at Wrabness station, which we visited en route for Harwich.
...and here we are again
in Bethnal Green, where we visited
the Weavers Centre and then walked to the Ragged School Museum
via the Waste and Stepney Green.
We were delighted to
support the MAGPIES clear-up of the Riverside,
and here we show Pam Buckingham sitting on the newly refurbished seat
given in memory of her mother some twenty years ago.
Here are children from both our Church Schools happily making music together.
At Easter we like to
decorate the outside of our building
with the signs of Spring and the New Life that Jesus brings.
This is a place of prayer...
...throughout the seasons...
...lest we forget.
