A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As the college term came to a close, students were able to join staff for a celebration of the true meaning of Christmas. Lunchtime carols were sung along with Bible readings and prayers. The College Christian Group were helped by Pastor Mark and the Leadership team of the Equippers Church who came to contribute to the event armed with keyboards and guitars.

Attended by members of every faith, and for a while, by the children normally looked after by the Nursery, the warm atmosphere of friendship and comradery spread around the room.

There was a chance to make further donations to The Branches Homeless Charity (see previous articles), and to buy the book of poetry (see previous articles), and to sup on the Christmas tradition of mulled wine and warm mince pies.

And with the carol service we come to the end of the term and this year's contributions to your student blog. We'll be back reporting more good news from the students next term, until then take it easy.

We hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
