"Messy Families" half term event - Highwoods Country Park
Several families were able to meet this week in Highwoods Country Park for an action-packed time, organised by Mark and Naomi Snelling. On arrival, children and their families were sent out in teams on a scavenger hunt, searching for a variety of different leaves, nuts, moss and twigs, followed by free play on the climbing apparatus and swings. After a picnic lunch together teams were sent out to build dens in the woods. A great time!

This week we feature 2 more episodes from the Canadian/British adaptation of John's Gospel, followed by discussion round the tables.
Questions will be set at 3 levels: easy (for children), basic, more in depth (for those who wish to have more in depth discussion)
Worship events over the Summer will aim to last an hour, in consideration of the fact that the children won't be having their normal term-time sessions on the stage. We will be meeting each week in the the Arts Centre and starting promptly at 10.30am.
Barn Church will continue as normal this week, meeting 5pm at Matalan.
