Thanksgiving Day Service for New Horizon -24th November 2011

November 30th, 2011

The American Church in London kindly selected the centre as the beneficiary of The Thanksgiving Day Service for the American Community in London at St Paul’s Cathedral.   Members of staff and young people attended the service where The Reverend Dr Barry Gaeddert, Senior Pastor, The International Community Church, Surrey explained about the work of the centre and the needs of young homeless people especially  coming up to Christmas.  The offering from the service will go towards young people’s Christmas at the centre, when every young person receives a gift of warm clothing and toiletries.  The centre will be open every day throughout the period and good food and festivities will be shared with all young people.

New Horizon is featured on the LVSC web-site – see link attached.

Snow Socks it to them

August 11th, 2011

Jon Snow stole the show and the auction when prompted by the audience,  he took his socks off and auctioned them along with his ties. The lucky recipient was Dara O’Briain who paid an inordinate amount for these prized items.

Jon Snow’s socks have made it into Friday 22nd Telegraph. Page 8,  you can read this online here:
