Apparently not, for the Christian Workplace Group leader at Bedford Borough Council who was interviewed in March.
The venue, date and times for Christmas events are all booked into the council calendars and more than this, invitations have already gone out to senior managers and the town mayor asking if they can take part.
Behind this ambitious event planning, there is a wonderful story of how God’s grace has been at work in the small but dedicated group. After changes in the council and redundancies, the group meet together for encouragement. ‘It’s been a challenging time, but our group at the moment is an oasis for us to meet and pray for each other and for the challenges taking place within the council. We are keen now to step up and out again.’
