Footsteps
St Nicholas Church and in particular, Sharon Sampson, organised this art and drama day for local children  on Wednesday, August 25th. Despite the day turning very wet, 50 Chearsley children and their mothers and helpers had a very noisy, successful time in the village hall, “following in the footsteps of Moses”. Great fun was had making all the props for the story, including Moses baskets, locusts, frogs and pyramids which was then enacted with the help of vicar, John Wynburne on his guitar accompanying the children to songs. Centre piece was a magnificent life-sized papier-mâché calf made by a local resident which the children delighted in covering with gold before dancing around it until the reappearance of Moses with the stone tablets broke up their worship of the idol.  

Thank You
Perry Smith would like to thank his friends in Chearsley for their help and support while he has been ill. He is now on the long road to recovery.
