Busy busy!
















Wow what a busy couple of weeks its been! I rturned from the Layworkers conference on the Friday night and moved house on the Saturday morning! We are settling in ok apart from a lack of carpet on 1 room - but we'll get there!
Next came my first stint at the new Sunday School - Friends and Heroes at Bowdon Vale. 5 children came and we all really enjoyed learning about Jesus and the Big Catch!
Monday was our first Tiny Praise at Timperley - thanks to Carrie for getting it all sorted while I was away! Three families attended and we learnt about Creation while having a fab time painting, glittering and dancing in church! ( As Chloe said - Paint?! In Church!!!?) We had lunch together afterwards and our smaller guests didn't want to go home!

This week has been all about Rewind to Easter - a multi-church event using Scripture Union material. Over 500 children are booked in to come to churches across the Altrincham and Sale area to have fun and learn about Easter - and this today we've just had our first event at Timperley Methodist - 100 children from Heyes Lane and Pictor Schools. A great time was had by all.

Right - better get on with researching the Seder Meal for Altrincham Kidz Klub

Greetings from far away!


Hi again,

Just thought I'd say a quick hello from Hertfordshire! I'm away for the week on the National Methodist Layworkers Conference. Although I'm missing doing my usual stuff I'm really enjoying meeting up with other children's workers and sharing ideas & hopefully getting recharged for the next few weeks which are going to be busy ones - Its my first stint at Bowdon Vale for their new Sunday School next week & then on Monday we're starting the new Tiny Praise at Timperley - really looking forward to those! The week after is all about Rewind to Easter - we've not heard back from any Timperley Schools yet so we need people to get praying that this takes off.

Right I'd better get back to my small group work

love & blessings Jackie
