Simple art project adds to Holywood welcome
Local people frequently walk through the lovely grounds of St Philip and St James in Holywood, and the parish recently undertook a little art project to enhance the welcome.
Adults and children alike were encouraged to download a pennant template and decorate it with an encouraging word, a bible verse or a few lines about God’s faithfulness to them during the COVID pandemic.
There was a great response and bunting now adorns the leafy grounds. Visitors have been stopping to read the messages and are appreciative of the splash of colour, especially in these rather grey days!
The parish displays a banner and also makes copies of the parish newsletter available in a waterproof perspex box on the gate - several simple ways to make people feel welcome to the church and grounds.
