The Bigger Picture

If you've driven through Loughborough recently you can't fail to have noticed the huge structure that appeared on the grounds of Emmanuel Church in Holy Week: The Bigger Picture. It is a Hope 2008 initiative where the churches in Loughborough worked together to create a world record breaking community picture and reach out to the town on Easter Monday.

Several thousand people were involved in colouring in around 500 panels with emulsion paint, including schools and community groups. Throughout the week the panels were slowly joined together like a jigsaw with the last piece completing the picture on Easter Monday. The project broke the world record for the largest ever painting by numbers picture!
