All little ones welcome, just come along!
We will be telling the ancient story of David the shepherd boy and Goliath the giant. Goliath was not just a giant but a champion warrior whose great size petrified a whole army. But never the less he was killed with one blow by David who was probably not much older than 12 years old and armed only with a sling. Come along and find out how.
As usual, after the story we will have prayers, songs and creative activities for the family to join in, followed by refreshments and some of Susan's delicious home made cakes.
In September's Early Birds, some of our children, Mums and Dads enacted Jesus's well-known story of the Good Samaritan complete with a gang of robbers, the poor travellor who got mugged and the good Samaritan who went to so much trouble to help a stranger in distress.
As usual accompanying the story we had prayers, a song or two from and Anne and Sue on the guitar and creative activities which this time involved making a friend. Afterwards we all had a cup of coffee, tea or drinks and some of Sue's home made cakes.
Alison told the story of Helpful Harry who always liked to help others when they needed it. The story was accompanied by some some clever cartoons.
After we had the story came prayers, songs and the usual creative activities. This time the children painted up cardboard cut outs of themselves.

The art work was followed with some very welcome and delicious home made scones, clotted cream and jam washed down with cold drinks for the children and tea and coffee for the Mums and Dads.
Last month we were telling the story of Noah's ark and the great flood. Always a children's favourite, the story was accompanied with live acting and animations.

Afterwards there were prayers, songs and creative activities. These were finished off with delicious home made cakes, cold drinks for the children and tea and coffee for the Mums and Dads.
April's theme was about how God's creation and how he created everything including the earth, the stars, the sun and the moon and all the living things on our planet.
As usual the little ones enjoyed handcraft activities after the main story and prayers and Susan and helpers provided home made cakes and tea afterwards
