Scripture Union Announces Winner of Writing Competition

Scripture Union recently announced the winner of its famous writing competition that resurrected after 60 years since the first initiative took place.

Young mum Hannah MacFarlane, part of a church plant in Oxford, has won the top prize - her story in print.

"I didn't learn about the competition until quite late and I really wanted to enter, but with a new-born baby to look after I wasn't sure I would get it finished in time," said MacFarlane, 26. "It was only when my husband encouraged me to do it that I set about getting it done!"
