Aldridge Parish Church Open Door 2008

Open Door is an initiative that has been run for several years inviting Year 4 (ages 8-9)
children from local primary schools into the Parish Church for a full day of worship, activities, learning and lots of fun.

This year, Open Door ran on Tuesday 29th, Wednesday 30th & Thursday 31st January with over 300
children from 6 local primary schools attending! Our biggest ‘Open Door’ Ever!

The schools that attended were Cooper & Jordan Primary School, Leighswood Primary School, Whetstone Field Primary School,
 St James’ Primary School (Brownhills), Meadow View JMI School (Great Barr) & Hydesville Tower School (Walsall)
 – we extend our thanks to them for making the effort to come along and join us.

We had a great time each of the three days with a chance to worship, read the bible, pray, reflect, discover and be creative!

It was a great opportunity for the children to hear about the love of Jesus and the interest He has in all of our lives.

The children also went into groups to do a varied programme of craft work, from sculpting in clay to calligraphy writing
 to drama to tile painting & stained glass window-making!
It was a very special time.

Open Door was organised and run by Gary Daniel & Sue Fung along with a multitude of volunteers - without whom it would have
 been impossible to run – So, another GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all who volunteered their time to come and help these
children to discover more about our church and the love that Christ has for everyone.
