Light up a Life memorial services
The St John's Epping Christmas tree festival is fast approaching & your local Church of England, North Weald, (St Andrew's & North Weald Sunday Morning Church) invite you to take photos of things around North Weald that represent love and/or joy to you. This could be someone who does lots for the community, or a pretty tree, or a pet, your school, your favourite place, the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, your friends, the pub, or anything! Winning photographs will be made into bauble decorations and displayed on our tree in St John's. Send your submissions to Jaimee at summersaimee@gmail.com. Please ask permission of anyone photographed before sending in your photos as they will be publicly displayed. Let's share the love and joy of our local community this Christmas! With love from Jaimee, St Andrew's Church and North Weald Sunday Morning Church.
