All age service

Next week sees us following the format for January's all age service. We are trialling this method to help us all engage with the Bible in new ways. We have arranged activities around Listen, Say, Do. We hope that over time we will be able to experiment and find out which methods helps us to grow most. Next week, were offering four very different ways of engaging with Mark's Gospel - Listening to a talk (with buzz groups), Joining a discussion, Responding with arts and crafts, Exploring the characters and story through drama.
