In our children’s ministry, we have been celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee. Last Sunday, we had our Jubilee Messy Church, where we thought about the Queen’s witness, praised Jesus for being the King of Kings and thought about how we become royalty because of Him. During our Baby and Toddler groups, we had Jubilee crafts and snacks and handed out copies of the Thy Kingdom Come Cheeky Pandas book about the Queen’s life of faithfulness and God’s love and faithfulness to us. We gave the same books out to the younger children at Clifford All Saints School and did an assembly about Queen Elizabeth II being friends with Jesus and how we can all be friends with Jesus too.
Next Sunday (5th June), we are looking forward to our All Age 11am service followed by a picnic and the dedication of a Jubilee tree, planted by some of the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. We do hope you will bring your lunch and something to sit on and come and join us as we celebrate both the Queen’s Jubilee and Pentecost. It would be wonderful to have the whole church family together for this. If it rains we can always picnic inside!
Looking ahead, we would really like to be able to put on a Holiday Club this year. To do this, we need your help. Do let us know as soon as possible if you can volunteer your time between Monday 15th August - Friday 19th August. It is a wonderful opportunity to help children know Jesus.
