A message from

Audley Christian Viewpoint

to remind you about

Counting Our Blessings

Exhibitions

7^th & 8^th October 2006.

Earlier this year we invited adults, children and families to celebrate and give thanks for all the good things in life that we sometimes take for granted. We invited you to think about YOUR blessings and then to express them - individually, or with family and friends, perhaps with a display of photos, a poem, a collage, a model or a painting. Display it on a sheet of card (max. approx. 40 x 60cm), then lend it to us for the exhibitions.

We suggested some things you might be thankful for

- the special people in our lives - our families and friends

- our jobs, hobbies and interests - our comfortable homes

- running water, lights and warmth - political and religious freedoms

- access to education and medical care

The Counting Our Blessings Exhibitions.

The displays will take place at St James’ Church and Church Hall over the Harvest Weekend, 7^th & 8^th October,

Sat: 10-4pm, Sun: 2-4pm

Also, at the same times, in Audley Methodist Church, New Rd, Bignall End and Halmerend and Woodlane Methodist Churches.

Prizes will be presented by the Mayor of Newcastle on Sunday 8^th October at 3pm in St James’s Church Hall, Audley

We hope so much you will have a go and encourage others to take part too!
