Lighting up Brentwood Christmas 2011

Posted on by
Dodd Road Church took part in Brentwood’s annual event when the Christmas Lights are switched on.

Before the lights were turned there was a carnival atmosphere all the way along Brentwood’s High Street with various stalls that all entertained the visitors.

There was a strong Christian influence throughout the day with Choirs and bands playing Christmas songs and carols.

Our contribution was to have a stand where we gave out sweets to everybody and the children were very willing to take a sweet.

We also had the opportunity to share a little of God’s love with many of the people who stopped to take a sweet and chat.

Brentwood Schools Christian Worker Trust

At Dodd Road we support the work of BSCWT and they have given us an idea of what they do:

The Brentwood Schools Christian Worker Trust (BSCWT) is a local charity that is supported by our church and many other churches in the area, and has been in existence since 1991.  The Trust exists to serve local schools by providing Christian learning and support.  It’s about Christians serving schools.

The core activities of BSCWT’s work include leading assemblies in schools, taking lessons in curriculum areas such as Religious Education, running voluntary clubs, supporting pupils in groups and one-to-one situations, praying for schools and helping churches to build positive partnerships with schools.  We are involved in the majority of the primary and secondary schools of the Brentwood borough.
