Getting in the picture
People could get into the true spirit of Christmas on Saturday thanks to Southwell Baptist Church.
About 35 people took the chance to dress as Mary, Joseph and the Three Wise Men and have their photograph taken as part of a Nativity scene at the Core Youth Centre.
The initiative was part of a national programme called Get In The Picture, which encourages people to think about the Christmas story. It was the first time Southwell Baptist Church had taken part.
The photographs are free and can be downloaded from the website, www. getinthepicture.org.uk
Church administrator and photographer for the day Mrs Sue Hartley said: “It went well, especially considering the town was quiet with it being the first day of the snow and very cold.”
She hoped the event could be repeated next year.
“We were thrilled with the response. We had families, children, adults and teenagers all getting involved so we think we will to do it again,” she said.
