A Wet Birthday Party
Rain failed to stop the party, as friends from the area joined with members of the St Stephen's family to celebrate our 150th Birthday! Despite the damp, the free ice-creams were enthusiastically eaten, faces were painted and juggling balls flew up into the air. As promised, the castle was indeed bouncy and the bungee run brought out a competitive streak in all those who had a go.
The church history display boards charted the story of St Stephen's, from construction to the present day. These generated quite a bit of interest from those who stopped to read them, with many people taking away a copy of the accompanying booklets, produced especially for the anniversary. A space was also provided for those who wanted to rest and contemplate, with displays to lead people through a spiritual journey, centred on Jesus.
The whole event was accompanied by some fantastic music, provided, amongst others, by 12-String Blues, Jellybean Jazz and the children of Netherthorpe and St Mary's Primary Schools. The grand-finale was the releasing of 150 colourful balloons, which drifted across the Ponderosa, over the tower blocks and... who knows where? Hopefully some of them will be found and there is a prize going for the person who picked the one that reaches the furthest.
