Update on Filling Station

The Filling StationFilling Station has been running since the beginning of April 2016. We are now regularly feeding between 40  and 50 children and adults from the local area and wider across Hartlepool. We have formed new friendships, helped in tough situations, celebrated good news and supported folks through bad patches.

Every one of our volunteers who helps out comes away feeling humbled by their experiences and by the life stories of our new friends.

Pray for Filling Station to continue and for donors to continue to give in order to keep this project running.

Nativity Goes Live in West View

The Sunday before Christmas is always a special Sunday in the life of the church. It is when we usually host our nativity and carol service, to celebrate the incredible events of the first Christmas.

This year we wanted to do something a little different and so decided to host a special nativity celebration outside in the grounds of the church. We built a stable, sent out invites and were joined by a couple of lovely Shetland ponies. A crowd gathered, we sang some carols, re-told the story of God’s coming into our world and then warmed up inside with hot drinks and mince pies.
