Centenary of the Girls' Life Brigade at Tabs

In 1926 May Pagden (later May Carnelly) had the vision to establish a group for girls here at Hillsborough Tabernacle ("The Tabs") and thus the 32nd Sheffield Girls’ Life Brigade was formed.  The Girls' Life Brigade became part of the Girls' Brigade.  Although we are no longer are part of the Girls' Brigade, we continue working as the company always did through ACE for Girls, and we hope later in the year you will join us in celebrating Mrs Carnelly’s wonderful achievement, not forgetting all the leaders who have worked with girls throughout the century and all the girls whose lives have been touched by GLB/GB and Ace for Girls.

Our Christmas Breakfast Church

Here is the Church Christmas Tree, and our Advent Candles.  We light one more each week until at Christmas, all are lit.   At the foot of the tree are presents we are collecting for the Salvation Army's toy appeal (here are contact for the Langsett Rd Corps - please contact them to find out more).

We held our Christmas Breakfast Church on 7th December and everyone made Rudolph out of candy canes.

Four red candles, in a ring, two are lit.  In the centre, a fifth red candle.  This whole Advent Ring is mounted on a circle of holly leaves

Two candy canes tied together with a pipe cleaner, to look like the face of a reindeer.   The reindeer has a red nose and two eyes.  The hook shape of the canes makes the reindeer's antlers.
