Thank you to everyone who came and shared in the Advent Prayers & Lunches at Hillhead Baptist Church. I estimate that around 25-30 different folk came along, and there were never less than a dozen of us on any one day.
Thank you for donations for Christian Aid. We raised just over £145, which will be passed on via West End ACTS early in 2010.
