Maundy Thursday Shoe Shine

The church leaders from the six churches in Cottingham joined together on Maundy Thursday to offer free shoe shines in a modern day streetwise symbol of Jesus' washing of the disciples feet. Our tagline was 'We're better at souls than uppers'. People were thrown by the fact that it was free, but we had a steady stream of happy customers through the morning.

Cottingham Musical Festival

We were again fortunate to have Elizabeth Altmann to join us once again, and entertain us with a special concert responding to requests from local members. Elizabeth in her own adaptations, managed to play the parts of a whole orchestra in bringing the pieces to us she did, with her usual flair and skill.

Lights Night

The turning on of the Christmas lights in Cottingham was again a big occasion, with around 8000 people turning out. The church as usual served mince pies, raising money for the Women's Refuge and outside this year we had a new feature, that was well used - our nativity display.
