Rocks, Topz and Pebbles set sail in our blanket boat from Caesarea to Rome as we heard the story of some of Paul’s journey as a prisoner. We dropped sea anchors, threw cargo, grain and tackle overboard, put ropes underneath and pulled in the lifeboat. All was in vain however as the ship neared land,…
Our story was about the first miracle of Jesus. We kicked off with a water into wine game with grapes frozen in ice cubes. We talked about weddings and then heard the story including a water into wine moment (thanks to some food colouring – don’t tell the children!). Apparently it has been roughly worked…
Join us as we celebrate 20 years of serving the Chard community from 42 Fore Street. From Safe Place to Work Life, Lord’s Larder to Citizen’s Advice, we have been a faithful presence on the Chard high street, seeking to bless and serve the people of Chard. We are having a fun-filled weekend of celebrations…
We started off with some (safe) chariot races and then found some puzzle pieces to complete our world map. As a follow up from Around the World for Holiday Club and Passport to the World on Saturday we looked at some of the countries on the Open Doors list of persecuted Christians and churches. Why…
Kids driving you crazy? Wish you could escape and travel the world? Can’t get away this summer? Let us bring the world to you as we transform Forefront Community Centre into an international hub. Get involved in games, activities, dressing up, sampling food from 9 countries – Brasil, Spain, India, Malaysia, Argentina, Sierra Leone, Egypt,…
The children had a game of ‘blow the flame’ to start our session and we then had an interactive story about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. We talked about their bravery. Even though they did not know what the outcome of their actions would be, they stayed true and faithful to God. King Nebuchadnezzar was astounded…
Join us for our family service on Easter Sunday and with the other Chard Churches Together services on Good Friday and early on Easter morning.
This week, we started a new series, Evan’s Child. We last did this series three years ago, so hopefully even the children who’ve done it before will get something different from it this time! The series as a whole teaches us what it’s like to be a child of God, and our first session is…
We started off by having huge amounts of fun and mess with shaving foam and food colouring to produce some beautiful marbled paper to represent Earth (apologies if some children came home a bit green!) Whilst these were drying we heard a story about Mr Earth and some of the ways in which Earth is…
With so many families away for half term, Pebbles joined forces with Rocks & Topz! We had a lot of fun together, starting with some songs, then doing a treasure hunt to find pictures of animals. Of course, we made lots of animal noises as we talked about the pictures – but what noise does…
This month’s Going Deeper – 6.30pm, 22 February – will cover “What is Faith?” As a church, we have been considering faith for the previous two weeks, as our study on Romans has reached chapters 3 and 4. But we will approach the topic from another angle by looking at what Hebrews 11 can teach…
This week it’s Crafternoon at Forefront Community Centre. Join us from 3.30pm with your projects for good conversation and company. The time will be extended this week for those who want to go straight up to the Baptist Church for our evening service.
