This year Advent Pageants have been seen around the world. In the UK we had 4 Pageants involving 9 schools and around 300 children, who dressed in all manner of colourful costumes. Shepherds, angels, sheep, stars, magi and of course Mary & Joseph re-enacted the nativity story through their local high street. The Advent Pageants were put on in Wheatley, Bicester, Headington and Leyland by local Christians, networking with schools and community. There were approximately 60 Advent Pageants that took place round the world this year in 10 countries.
The Thame Youth Cafe is well in to action and making great connections with the local & South Oxford District Councils, talking about how together we can strengthen the support for young people in Thame. Rachel reflects on what the last year has meant for our work here and where some of her passion for the next year lies.
