Last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (2/3/4th March) saw 230 children from local primary schools spend the day in our church. The children from Cooper and Jordan, Leighswood, Whetstone Field, St James Brownhills, Walsall Wood and Hydes Ville Tower had an opportunity to discover God’s love. Thanks to a great team of volunteers the children were able to take part in workshops that ranged from painting a tile or stained glass window, learning calligraphy, art, making a chalice and paten to modelling clay. All the activities were inspired by what the children saw around them. There was a time of sung worship, bible reading and prayer as well as discovery sheets. These discovery sheets enabled the children (and some of the volunteers) to learn lots about our church. They learnt about the stained glass windows, the name of the Lych gate and what its name means, they looked for particular stones in the church yard, counted heads on the outside of the church building and so much more.
It was such a
privilege to
spend the day
with these 8 and
9 years olds
showing them
that church
isnot just a
building but a
really exciting
