The Bigger Picture

Posted Tue 18th March, 2008 by Cllr. Graeme Smith

This afternoon, I went to Emmanuel Church at the heart of Southfields ward. I was looking at the work being done on 'The Bigger Picture.'

The Big Picture is a world record breaking community picture, comprising of almost 500 panels, each painted by a community group or individual. Together they make up an 80 metre long picture of the Easter story being compiled on the grass outside Emmanuel Church on Forest Road during mid-March.

This hasn't just involved Christian groups, and I was told that over 2000 people from across our town have been involved in some way.

On Easter Monday, there's a family fun day and firework display where people can come and watch the final (and record breaking) piece being put into place. I hope that loads of people can come and see this incredible achievement.
