Yesterday saw another successful Good Friday kids workshop in Priory House. It was lovely to welcome 22 children aged between 4 and 8 (and their parents at the end of the day) and to have the chance to celebrate the story of Easter with them.
During the day the youngsters made a variety of craft items, including donkey models and masks, Easter bird houses, crosses and palm leaves. Our 'HOSANNA' placard is on display at the back of the Priory so do have a look if you have the chance. They also had a go at icing and decorating cakes and biscuits and making chocolate Easter nests with real chocolate eggs!
We also learnt some new songs and everyone showed us how loudly and well they can sing! I have little voice left today (which some may say is a good thing!!!). I look forward to the next Second Sunday service when I hope they'll join in as well again.
The day finished with family worship with a story about a donkey called Hannah, prayers and poems led by the children and singing & dancing.
Many thanks to Frances for organising the day and Anita and Wendy for their help (we couldn't have done it without you). I think everyone had a fab time and we all had a chance to remember the sacrifice our Lord made for us and a chance to celebrate the true meaning of Easter.
Thanks to everyone for coming and see you all on April 13th in Priory Hall.
Easter blessings to all.
Sarah
