This term we have followed on from the Christmas story learning about Jesus's life as he grew up and the stories he told to teach people about God. We whittled characters out of sticks as we learnt about the trade Joseph passed down to Jesus.
We have tackled obstacle courses whilst discussing the obstacles (temptations) Jesus had to overcome in the desert and we have washed each others feet whilst learning about the woman who washed Jesus’s feet - we substituted the expensive perfume for bath bombs! These stories have woven strong threads throughout the story of Jesus’s life. We have seen many children joining the threads together ready to see His purpose for coming to earth fulfilled at Easter. They are getting to know Jesus and his story pretty well so please do ask them questions at home!

As parents one of the biggest challenges is knowing that we can’t give our faith to our children, they have to find it for themselves. Our hearts ache at the thought of them not knowing the love of Jesus and the help of the Holy Spirit.
But we are not powerless in this situation. We can pray and equip ourselves with knowledge to pass on to our children. To support us in this we are hoping to start a prayer meeting/bible study aimed at those passionate about seeing the next generation flourish in their faith.
Parents, teachers, children’s workers, grandparents, carers, church members - all are welcome to join us. We are looking at a morning session and an evening session alternating on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. We will be in touch with more details soon.
Please do express your interest to: hannah.turner@harvestchurch.uk
Venue: Alton Maltings
Day: Sundays
Time: 10.30 – 11.45am
During our morning gathering
We believe that taking kids away from the ordinary and expected allows God to move in extraordinary ways, and gives children an opportunity to be envisioned as part of God's big family on a mission together.
