Would you like to join in the annual stamp collection for the Leprosy Mission? Please trim your stamps, leaving a 5 mm margin.

Stamps can be brought to the One World Centre (the pop up shop in Douglas 28 Duke St BEFORE Christmas, or St Johns in the New Year), St John’s Church, The Cathedral, St Mary’s and St Matthew’s in Douglas; or to Dalby, Marown, the Abbey Church + Parish Hall in Ballasalla.  You  may find that your local church or school is acting as a collection point too.

If you would like to meet Nick Calland when he visits the Island in February, please get in touch

We’re delighted to announce that the Manx Telecom has awarded us £350 to enable us to print trail guides for the Global Gardens Tree Trail that will open in the new year in the grounds outside our office at Garey Ny Cloie in St Johns.  We hope you will come and enjoy looking for the featured trees and discovering their origins in different parts of the world.

If you are shopping in Douglas this Christmas please come to the One World Centre to find one of 11 lost sheep!  They form a trail and leaflets with the entry form will be available in Douglas library, Strand Centre and the Book Company shop, or can be downloaded from www.sodorandman.im .

There will be 23 days from the 1^st to the 23^rd of December for you to get hunting!  Each sheep will be named by the shop they are hidden in, when you have found the sheep write its name on the trail form, when you have found all 11 sheep pop your entry into the boxes at Douglas library, Strand Centre or the Book Company shop, or pop them in the door at St.Thomas’ Church.

The trail will conclude at St.Thomas’ Church  All Age Crib Service on Tuesday 24th December at 4.45pm when there will be a prize draw with prizes for first, second and third places, as well as the all age crib service for everyone to join in. Children are invited to dress as a shepherd a king or an angel for this service (this is not compulsory).

This should be a great community event and will help make shopping a little more fun as well as giving us all the opportunity to remember and celebrate the Christmas story.

This powerful documentary charts what happened when Palestinians from a range of different religious and political backgrounds met with a group of Israelis from similarly diverse backgrounds.  Without taking sides it provides an illuminating insight into what happens when people from opposing sides sit down together, listen to what the other has to say and see each other as human beings.

Tickets £10 from the One World Centre, 28 Duke St Douglas, or on the door.
