Here's a great way to keep the children (and lets be honest, the adults as well) entertained over the Christmas holidays. Brand new from Sony pictures comes a DVD of the Christmas story like you've never seen it before. Filled with smart and loveable animals this is a feel-good Christmas movie for all the family. Watch the trailer then get over to Shoemakers (https://bit.ly/2Emzduq) to get your copy.

After last week's post about best-selling books, here's a list for those of you who are looking for inspiration of a more musical flavour. As always, check out www.christophershoemaker.org.uk to find out more!

It's the song that brings ultimate hope to so many... often in the midst of life's most challenging moments. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft.
Releasing on 3rd December "I can only imagine" tells the true story of the author of this amazing song. Watch the attached trailer and then hop over to Shoemakers at https://bit.ly/2DVSDpN to pre-order your copy!

A big thank you to all from Thatcham Baptist church who came to Shoemakers' late shopping evening and supported us so generously - a lovely evening of fellowship - I thought!

Getting ready for Christmas - come and see!

This is a remarkable and valuable resource which is truely the heart of newbury with regard to being a friendly and inviting atmosphere where you can get your core teaching material along with fair trade products , and a place to rest within the coffee shop area which leads into the book, music and gifts store .. Its always a pleasure to visit before popping into the church for extra quiet time and reflective prayer.. thanks for maintaining this secret place throughout the years.. and many more ahead I pray...................... And now they sell only gluten free food within the Coffee shop. So no more searching for somewhere for all to meet....I've tried a few and was not only impressed but surprised at such quality without compromise .

The atmosphere is really calming and delicious gluten free food
