And the light shone in the north, over Ancoats...

Last night, we managed in January in Manchester city centre what we didn't manage in August in a field in Cheltenham: we released a sky candle. They are large paper lanterns with a flammable cardboard burner, that heat and fill like a hot air balloon, sailing away up into the sky. We wrote on the candle with felt pens our prayers for where the light of God would be seen in 2009.

It resonated well with our epiphany theme about the light shining in the world and the Magi following the star to Bethlehem. And it looked blooming gorgeous! The photos are a bit shaky but give you a good enough idea...




Go on Jonny, make it a worship trick... you know you want to! ;-)
