Today we had another Family Fun Day, organised by Dearne Churches Together, with the help of the Dearne Area Team, as part of our half-term fun. We had 163 people attend the Fun Day and our thanks go to everyone who worked so hard to make this a truly memorable day, with special thanks to the Salvation Army catering team, Ann amd Sadie from the Dearne Area Team, Simon and Charlotte from Worsbrough Mill, Karen from Furlong Road Methodist Church and Sharon, Letitia, Sue and Garry from GPCC who worked so hard before, during and after the event!
Our theme was the story ‘Claudia the Caterpillar’, which looks at Claudia’s desire to fly and how the process of becoming a butterfly didn’t seem particularly enjoyable (how could being wrapped in a chrysalis lead to new life?) In the same way, Jesus told Nicodemus that we must be born again if we are to enter the kingdom of heaven, a process of new life which we enter because He died for us and rose again.
We had a variety of crafts concerned with caterpillars and butteflies, including caterpillar and butterfly collages:
We also had colouring activities, crosswords, wordsearches and bookmarks based on the ‘Claudia’ story.
In the community room, we had painting and craft activities, includihg making caterpillars from socks!
We also had a Claudia cake (though Asda insisted she was called Bonnie…)
