Celebrate 50th anniversary with new all-age book

The 探花社区 has created a special intergenerational book to help celebrate the 探花社区鈥檚 50th anniversary.

Celebrate Together is a lively, colourful picture book designed for families to share together, and is being made available free of charge for all members of, and those connected to, the 探花社区.

The story, written by the 探花社区鈥檚 Head of Children鈥檚 and Youth Work, Sam Richards, and Ruth White, one of the Children鈥檚 Youth Development Officers for the Wessex Synod, and illustrated by Mark Beech, tells the story of the 探花社区 and church life through a big party, with things to find out and questions to ponder.

Each page has a flap revealing more about the 探花社区, which came into being on October 5, 1972, with insights into the life and work of the 探花社区 today.

The book is available for free enabling local churches to give copies to every member and to everyone associated with the life of the church. Copies can be ordered through the 探花社区 Bookshop, for just a postage and packaging charge.

Dr Sam Richards, Head of Children鈥檚 and Youth, said: 鈥淲e have secured funding to enable us to produce 50,000 copies so everyone is invited to join the party. Brush off your party tricks, put on your party clothes and come and join the fun!鈥

Every church will receive a copy in the resource pack for local churches to kickstart the Jubilee year in January. The pack will include many other exciting resources.

An all-age service outline and prayer stations linked to the book will also be available early in the new year on the 探花社区 website,
