What a wonderful All age service this morning. The services were based around Collossians which instead of being read, was given in a much more engaging way using this video:     Even more enjoyable was a new (and highly addictive) new song. Be warned, when you listen to this, you not get it out of your head for the rest of the day, or possibly...

Twenty children spent three hours at St Mary’s this morning and fun, games and craft. As well as meeting Charlie and Alice, playing Christmassy games and singing, the children made lots of different crafts.   These crafts included foam Christmas trees, candy canes, candles, Christmas cards and decorating Christingle biscuits.

Everybody seemed to be smiling, but tired, after a fun-packed Children’s Activity Morning: “Veg Out.”   All the activities were to do with autumn and harvest.

With the help of Christian Aid, he, and hundreds of other growers, are able to obtain a fair price for their goods. This has been achieved by becoming part of a...

Today’s All-Age service was about Friendship and how Jesus is a friend to us all. Charlie and Alice had a difficulty to overcome. The focussing on the video gets better after a few...
