Today saw St Mark’s church transformed into a market place for the second year running (photos here)
People wandered around the market and while being involved in various activities such as tasting sweets from different parts of the world, making lamp holders from clay, creating mangers from wood or being interviewed by Deborah from the BBC (Bethlehem Broadcasting Corporation of course!)also collected various parts to be able to make a Christingle.
The time together ended with the Christingles being lit in the darkened church which is always a powerful experience.

I love events like today wen there is so much interaction, questioning and discussion as this is what learning together as ‘church’ is all about.
