March 2014: We have just had an absolutely amazing afternoon of celebrating the wonders of science with about 40+ children bringing their mums and a lot of dads as well in our village church. Rocket launches in the main aisle, spaghetti and marshmallow towers being built, magnets, fingerprinting, electric circuits and walking on water! (cornflour mix) were just some of the attractions - and some cleverly thought through Biblical links. Lots of noise and hopefully seeds sown to make a lot of children feel church is a welcoming place. Big thanks to all who helped and all who came and especially Chris and Holli who got the event together. Now on to tomorrow's services - one with discussions following and one All-age: hopefully with as good an atmosphere as we had this afternoon.
