SUNDAY SCHOOL IN ACTION<br />
Becky Macron<br />
Following the baptisms on 20 th September, in which 16 of our children<br />
were received into the <strong>Church</strong>, Sunday School continues to grow in<br />
number and faith. Throughout the months of September and October,<br />
we have explored<br />
a number of<br />
themes through<br />
our Gospel<br />
readings,<br />
including what<br />
marginalises<br />
people, security<br />
and leadership,<br />
and rules and<br />
permission.<br />
October and<br />
November<br />
proved to be equally as exciting and eventful. Alongside our own<br />
studies, we will be preparing for this year’s Treefest and examining in<br />
greater detail the biblical meanings of some of the words from our<br />
chosen topic: The Christmas <strong>St</strong>ory, told through a children’s Christmas<br />
Carol. We must not forget also the 29 th November; this important<br />
date has been set aside for us to carry out our vital role of filling the<br />
backpacks for <strong>Mary</strong>’s Meals Backpack Appeal.<br />
Among the many talents of our children are those who demonstrate a<br />
great artistic flair and we regularly rejoin the 9.30 Eucharist carrying<br />
our beautiful creations. We would like to share our efforts with the<br />
whole of the <strong>Church</strong> and will be soon displaying our work along with<br />
our latest news and events in our Family Worship Area. Please do<br />
come and have a look!<br />
