We had a great Easter Family Fun Day, working with other local churches at Furlong Road Methodist Church on Wednesday 5th April. Although numbers were lower than usual, we had the opportunity to take part in Easter crafts, do a ‘Resurrection Rhyme’ trail to win a chocolate egg and learn about the Dearne Churches Together selfie board which will be part of the Dearne Community Arts’ Festival’s community art project for 2023.

As part of our consultation for that project, people were asked about what they like about fun days and Dearne Churches Together. One family commented that they liked coming ‘as we take all 4 kids and it’s nice to have family time and talk to other people.’ Another person said, ‘I really appreciate everything that is done as there is something for families to do and enjoy with their children, big or small.’ We are blessed to be able to serve our community in this way and love putting on these holiday activities.

Our thanks to all the church volunteers who helped with reffreshments, supervising crafts and organising activities and to the Salvation Army for providing lovely food for us all to enjoy.
