Every Thursday in October, the NHS are running a hub at Forefront checking people’s livers. You may not think you need yours checking, but if you’ve ever done any of the following, it could be worth popping in: had a blood transfusion before 1996 had dental or medical treatment abroad had a tattoo or piercing…
On Sunday, we heard the story of the woman who washed the feet of Jesus. She was brave enough to ignore those around who were not approving. Knowing how much Jesus had done for her and how much he loved her she wanted to respond. What an amazing way to do so! The children made…
We looked at the story of the Prodigal Son which has many similarities to the story of Mephibosheth (that the adults were studying in the main service). We talked about how this is a reminder to all of humanity that God always loves and is always ready to welcome and forgive. The children made some…
While you’re recovering from the excitement of Carnival, you can join us at Forefront Centre for an afternoon of stitching, knitting, crafting and chatting. Bring your projects along – we’ll supply the tea and coffee.
Rocks and Topz read the story of Zacchaeus, aka the man who had no friends (none)! No one liked him because he stole from them, but Jesus not only saw him but also loved him. Because Jesus spent time with him, Zacchaeus changed, and gave back even more than he’d stolen in the first place.…
Safeguarding Sunday is an initiative run by our safeguarding partners at thirtyone:eight. While the main church spent some time thinking about making our churches safe spaces, the young people also explored this topic. What do these items have in common – an umbrella, oven gloves, plasters, shin pads, a cycle helmet, sunscreen and sunglasses? They…

This week, we delved back into the Old Testament for a session and looked at the story of David and Goliath, tying in with the subject that the adults were looking at – strengths and weaknesses. One of our leaders was volunteered to be Goliath and the children, armed with balloon cup paper shooters, were…
As usual, Forefront will be open on the night of Chard carnival. Come and get your face glittered for the evening and take part in a carnival craft between 6-7pm. We have toilets, tea, coffee and cake – all for free.
Crafternoon restarts this week after their summer break. Come and join us at Forefront Centre for an afternoon of stitching, knitting, crafting and chatting. Bring your projects along – we’ll supply the tea and coffee.
We started off with a game which ended with a map and we prayed for some of the children of the world. We heard the story of the disciples trying to stop the children seeing Jesus as he was tired and didn’t have time for them. Jesus absolutely wanted to see them! We made some watches to…
We read the story that Jesus told about hidden treasure. The man who found it sold everything he had so he could buy something even more valuable. Jesus was teaching about God’s kingdom (anywhere where God is king) and how being with God is the most important thing in the world – and worth so…
