We had a fabulous Easter Fun Day at Goldthorpe Railway Embankment and the Salvation Army, under gloriously blue skies and temperatures that felt more like summer than April! Our Easter Trail got people looking for different coloured objects and doing a variety of activities including,
- planting seeds as a reminder of hope
- writing messages of love on hearts to hang in the Embankment
- making daffodil mosaics to remind us that God takes our broken lives and makes something beautiful from them
- making willow crowns to remind us we are loved and valued by God
- decorating wooden birds and joining paper chains to remind us that Jesus died to bring us together and gives us peace
We also made an Easter garden and did a variety of crafts inside the Salvation Army building.
Here are some photos from the day.
A big THANK YOU to all who helped, including Lesley and Sadie from Gone Wild Forest School, Becky from the Salvation Army Divisional HQ and Nikki Hickling from JJ’s Chippy who fed us all!
