Guild Christmas Celebration

The Light House was delighted to host Hilton Parish Church Guild Christmas Celebration last Thursday evening. 21 ladies attended an evening of food and fellowship and all enjoyed the occasion very much. God Bless you ladies!

Volunteer's night out

A fantastic night out was had by the Light House volunteers last Saturday... IN the Light House!! An evening of pizza and party games to show our appreciation for our volunteers funded by the generosity of our cafe customers - thank you!


The video below gives a wee taste of the fun and games.. albeit the lighting is a bit dim... Watch out for the "after eight" champions as well as those crazy participants of the coin game!!

Painting the Light House

Our thanks to Craig who is doing a fabulous job of painting the outside walls of the Light House. Here's a view from inside the kitchen of the man hard at work!

Advent at the Light House

Advent begins next week and the Light House will start to take on a definite Christmas feel as the expectation of Christmas builds..
Today Marea treated us to her mouthwateringly light mince pies - hot from the oven! Next week we'll start to see more Christmas fayre as well as the opportunity to purchase Fair Trade Christmas cards, wrapping paper, gifts and sweets.
