What a great opportunity Christmas brings with our society focusing the whole month of December around Jesus birthday. But as you know so many people barely give Jesus a second thought at Christmas as it becomes all about time off, presents, decorating, and eating too much. This Christmas Route One is getting involved in refocusing people onto the real meaning of Christmas. We were at the switching on of the Christmas lights in Leigh-on-Sea and will also be involved with Christmas events with Hawkwell Baptist Church and Thundersley Congregational Church. We really had a great time at the Leigh Lights switch on with loads of people coming on the bus including local councillors and the local MP for Southend West. We also had a chance to reconnect with some of the young people we have previously seen in Southend High School for Boys who were very pleased to see the bus and have the opportunity to show their parents around. We also had some great conversations with other families and groups of young people who we hope to get the chance to see in the future in their schools.
