The Anchors have been making and decorating edible melting snowmen in the run up to Christmas! These consisted of a biscuit, a marshmallow, icing and some decorations.

Before making these festive treats, the Anchors watched a short clip from Frozen 2, where Olaf the snowman melts away, sacrificing himself for Anna and the greater good of Arendelle. This was compared to how Jesus ‘melted away’ for us on the cross, sacrificing himself for the greater good – that our sins could be forgiven and that our relationship with God could be restored. The birth of Jesus at Christmas made this possible. Our edible melting snowmen remind us of this wonderful truth!

The Anchors certainly enjoyed eating them afterwards!

Ahead of the official act of remembrance on 11th November, this Tuesday we undertook our own act. The members made ‘cupcake poppies’ and placed them on the canvases as we remembered those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
