Christmas Season at Abbeygate Two

The DNA Missional Communities have been celebrating the Christmas season joyfully already! House Churches are flourishing in Highwoods, Horkesley and Riverside;  Footballers improved their performances on last season with two wins and a draw; Abbeygate Two has proved to be a flexible and significant resource for building community amongst a range of different groups over the last two weeks.

• Little Lights saw a large group of Mums and pre-schoolers sharing Christmas music and stories
• Primary agers held a Christmas party last Monday and rehearsed a Nativity procession
• Maths Club finished its first term in style last Saturday
• Barn Church (teenagers) did an extra session to try to practise for the carols entertainment
• Synergy  (20's/30's) had movie, games and food in various spaces
• Internationals invited plenty of new people and enjoyed menu items from various chefs
• Thursday nights have seen the last sessions of Synergy Alpha Course and the first sessions of Swahili Marriage Course
