Christmas Lunch  

 

Clients and staff enjoyed a Christmas meal together.  We were very pleased to welcome Archbishop Barry Morgan and Edwin Bates from Church Army. After the meal our music group sang some songs and also led everyone in singing.  Ann presented the Archbishop with a framed photograph. Archbishop Barry talked about the injustice of poverty and how Jesus spending time among the poor was the true meaning of Christmas.  Edwin thanked the staff for all their hard work throughout the year.
