A Creative Journey Towards Christmas, with Tom Elliott and Margaret Warne

27 Nov–1 Dec 2023 (Mon–Fri)

As we journey towards Christmas join Tom and Margaret as they help us to creatively engage with the wonder of the journey towards Christmas. Through reflection on scripture, exploration through poetry, getting creative with craft, lots of joy, laughter and even a bit of magic thrown in, this week will help us journey towards the true reason for the season.
