Remembrance Sunday

The children of the Sunday Squad created this wonderful frieze for Remembrance Sunday. Each of the large poppies had the names of all the countries where British soldiers had lost their lives since World War I. This highlighted to the children all the conflicts in the world, some of which happened a long time ago and others which are happening now. The children then each lit a candle in memory of those who had died and invited the congregation to follow their lead at the main service. Their hard work has created a very memorable piece of art work.. thank you to the Sunday Squad!

Sunday Squad Video - 25th Oct

Back to Church Sunday & Family Day

Back to Church Sunday and Family Day was a great day for everyone. The Sunday Squad children took part in the service, creating a lovely banner of plenty - based on 37 different fruits. Following the service the harverst offerings were auctioned in a particularly fruitful fundraiser for the Play Pumps charity. The local produce and home made goodies made a fantastic £190+ for Play Pumps - well done everyone. Afterwards there was lots of fun for the kids, including the bouncy castle, accompanied by Peter on the bagpipes - thank-you Peter, the kids loved it! We rounded off with a game of beat-the-goalie footie, and then a bit of calm-down time with play-doh. We all had a lovely day.

Chariot Wheels

Today the Sunday Squad baked delicious Chariot Wheel biscuits. Many hands made light work rolling out the biscuit dough, and carefully cutting out the rounds. As the biscuits were baking, we listened to the story of the parting of the red sea, whilst enjoying the delicious smells wafting from the oven. Toast took second place today!
