Christmas Hyphop family night

Every second Friday, Chris Watt along with a very able team of leaders runs a club for Primary School children in the church called Hyphop. The group has really caught the imagination of many of the children that Chris works with at Hilton School, and around 50 attend every week. Most of these children have no involvement in the regular Sunday gatherings of the congregation. Last night was a Christmas family night for the children who brought along various members of their extended families. It was wonderful to see the church filled with so many children and their families from the community. There was time for the adults to chat as the children played games with Chris and some of the leaders in the large hall, there was a fun quiz and a great atmosphere. Well done to Chris and the Hyphop team for all the fine work that you are doing through Hyphop. Chris finished last night by pointing the children to Jesus - the one who is at the heart of the Christmas story. Pray for these children and their families, that Jesus would make Christmas very special for them this year.
