Family Pastor

Easter was a full and varied season and I'm thrilled to have been able to journey alongside the families and congregation. A particular highlight was seeing hands on exploring of the message of Good Friday by the many different ages of people who attended the Good Friday Breakfast and Sensory Trail.

May half term has a “Bee Kind” theme, where we will be finding out about the importance of Bees (following World Bee Day on the 20^th May) and seeing what things we can do to help these important creatures. There will be the craft and activity sessions alongside Beacon café so families can come and play, get creative and socialise.

As we enter into June I will once again be leading the church in the National Month of Prayer for Toddler Groups, there will be a prayer meeting on Monday mornings throughout June, as well as some at home resources to use too.  So I hope you are able to join in across the month in some way.

I love spending time with the church families across the month and I can usually be found a Beacon Café supporting the children to have a great time. This is the perfect time to grab me for a quick chat and catch up on what is happening in your lives. But if you need a bit of extra support or more private chat do ask and we can make sure a more private space is arranged.

We continue to develop what is on offer for families attending on a Sunday morning, developing our groups to be catering for the different needs of the children who come. Giving them the chance to explore and develop their faith at age-appropriate levels. I love the variety of questions the different ages bring and often find we have so much to learn form the way in which children ask questions.
