A simple picture of our church Advent candle. 

Family Service this morning and a collection of toys for the children and women at the women's refuge. It was amazing how many we collected, I'm sure it was more than last year. It will help to make Christmas a bit more special for them and let them know that people care. 

The Christmas Tree Festival continued this afternoon and finished with a thanksgiving service, where we had a speaker from Save the Children. It was a very moving talk. 

After clearing up, five of us went for a meal at the Indian restaurant. They were all exhausted after three full days and a whole week of setting up beforehand. It has been a good event though. We won't know the final total raised until after Christmas as we will continue to collect for the charity.
