I don't know how he managed it, but Tommy sent this photo late on Sunday, 1st January.

Here are Karen's parents, Vincent & Anjean Mascarenhas, and Tommy's, Michael & Mary Jordan.

There are more photos on Facebook.

Once again we got together at Trevor and Linda's for some carol singing, led again by our generous and very skilled pianist, Helen, who played with frozen fingers. After the loud singing, and Trevor's "Snow machine" which poured very convincing soap flakes out of the upstairs window (last year it was real snow!) we enjoyed great food inside. Special thanks go to Senan for his curry, Bob for his chili and all who provided food, drink and good conversation.

It seems that Shrek has appeared among us. Well, everyone was welcome!

Annie and Dominic have gone to Dublin

Just before it was time to go off to live in Dublin, Aidan Perrem was baptised in Acton. We will really miss Dominic & Annie and Edmond. In the time they have been here, they have become a part of our lives, and our young people, expecially, will miss their inventive fun!

Mark and Rachel have gone to Belfast

For the last time Mark packs his laptop. We are very sorry to see him & Rachel move to Belfast, but we know that they will be very successful there in their work for the kingdom, especially among students, where they have made their mark in London. And Mark has that special skill that he can still manage a lot of Koinonia from a distance! Meanwhile he's left Joe Fahd to handle the extra bits!

We will miss them!

We were delighted to receive Iain Campbell Archibald as the speaker to our Antioch Men's Breakfast and he did not disappoint us.

Many of us know Iain from the early days of what was the "West London Community" and he and his wife Teresa served us with a tireless energy and amazing committment.

He is now active in the business world in Edinburgh, with Business Matters Edinburgh, and is still energetically serving the kingdom.

We have put his session with us online, so just follow the link to our recordings.

John Kyle came across from Belfast to be the main speaker at our Men's Day on Saturday 22nd January, and led us through a very helpful day. To give you a taste, you can listen to this short story he told, or just follow the link to the recordings of the whole day.
