Laden with an arm full of chocolates, members of the Family Church Havant congregation took to the streets, to knock on the doors of their local residents, offering them each a chocolate Easter gift.

Steve Carey, Pastor of Family Church Havant, said: ‘For us Botley Drive and the roads surrounding the church are our local community and as a church we love being part of that community.

‘For the past four years at Easter, everyone in the congregation brings in the boxes of chocolates to give away.

‘It’s such a highlight in the Family Church calendar and we enjoy going out seeing the familiar faces.’

As well as a chocolate gift, members of the community also received an invite to the Empower Centre Havant Open Day.

This is a completely free family event and will take place on Saturday, from 11.30am – 2.30pm at the Empower Centre Havant, 47 Botley Drive, Havant, PO9 4PJ.
