Inspired by last year’s successful Angel Festival, the All Together team, which is tasked with encouraging worship with young people, invited members of the church, local uniformed groups, nearby schools, and community members to craft stars and other heavenly bodies from recycled materials.

The result is a spectacle of creativity and community spirit. A diverse range of star designs and planets, each with its own story, now adorns the church nave.

The stars were illuminated for the first time during the Advent carol service on December 1st, captivating all those who attended. Their Director of Music, John Lewis, arranged a special song complete with custom lighting for the event. You can view the special event on YouTube. More information at www.allsaints-gosforth.org.uk.

As the church community gathers under the glow of these recycled stars, it serves as a reminder of the power of creativity, community, and the spirit of the season.
