We very much believe in being a part of our local community and joining in with local events where possible. The Snap Tin Community Hub is running a Scarecrow Trail between 29 and 31 October in Goldthorpe and Bolton-on-Dearne, and so we decided to make an angel scarecrow to represent light and God’s messengers bringing messages of hope wherever they go.
Never having made a scarecrow before, we were grateful for the volunteers and Stacey Turner who provided hay and materials for our parents and toddlers to join in this craft. Janet rose to the challenge as always and has produced a costume for our scarecrow. Our angel has a pumpkin head, a conker halo, googly eyes, wings from our Nativity box and fairy lights, as well as ribbons bringing the word of God to Goldthorpe. The angel will hang outside for the trail itself, but in the meantime, let’s be grateful for real angels who are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. (Heb 1:14)
