The activities tonight were intended to reinforce what we were learning about Jewish and Christian festivals.
The children had time to play in a tent (to get an idea of what a ‘booth’ or ‘tabernacle’ was like) and did collage pictures of the Jewish booths:
The adults (rather depleted in number since many of our congregation were actually on holiday at this time!) did quizzes about the Passover (learning, for example, that Romaine lettuce is eaten during the Passover meal because its bitterness symbolises the slaves’ tears during their years of captivity) and learnt about the order of Christian festivals:
As usual, there were holiday-themed prizes (including a fan for this hot weather, suntan cream, sunglasses and a watering can!)
