Our theme was Harvest, and our 75 guests enjoyed a range of activities inspired by the theme, from painting grapes using foot prints, to a tin can alley, to vegetable modelling.
It's difficult to know who had the most fun making the vegetable people - the parents or the children!
We encouraged praising God in alternative ways - planting as a community in the raised beds outside the Church Hall, writing and drawing our prayers on grapes to make a vine, reflecting and creating a prayer tree with leaves, flowers and birds and planting daffodil bulbs which should be starting to flower in time for Mother's Day in March.
Helen and Jo together led a lovely, and very lively, worship service which was greatly enjoyed by the children and adults alike. Many of the children were already familiar with the songs from Junior Church, but we were very blessed that we were able to reach so many families who were not familiar with our services, and who are now keen to come along and join us on Sundays.
The catering team provided a wonderful meal of butternut squash soup which was greatly enjoyed by everyone present.
The volunteer team were overwhelmed, overjoyed and over-excited about the response to our hard work, and we are all looking forward to the next meeting in November, on the 17th; the theme is I am the Light for the World. We look forward to seeing you then.
