Text Box: CARD MAKING DAY AT UPTON CHESTER MAY 2008 The Hope 08 initiative of Upton was to use the gifts, skills and time of its card club, supplemented by other Christian card makers and make cards for the men of HMP Altcourse to send to their families. All materials were donated and as a result 290 cards were made and some 100 hours of kindness were clocked up, including the hours on the day itself and the preparation beforehand. We were glad to welcome women from other churches in Chester, Runcorn and Port Sunlight and whilst we worked extremely hard during the morning (and were reasonably quiet as a result) we had a lot of fun and there was definitely a sharing of ideas and tips. We ended with lunch and as we left it was the promise that at some time, we would do it all again! The photo show a small selection of the cards made and those who made them.
