St Nicholas Church Fun Day - Footsteps
A fun day for 25 local children took place on Tuesday 25th August. The aim of the day was for the children to “walk in the footsteps of Jesus”, hence the name “Footsteps”. The day started in the village hall making all sorts of craft items from glittery doves hanging from strings to cardboard swords and shields to be used later as props in the drama. Older children and teenagers made a large cardboard fishing boat complete with mast, which formed part of a happy, carnival-like procession through the village lanes to a large garden with pond where the children learnt about the baptism of Jesus. It was then time for a picnic lunch - “feeding of the 5000”. Next came a walk to the church, “Jerusalem” , past the well-known village donkeys. At Jerusalem, the older children acted out the Last Supper, crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus, while the younger ones enjoyed painting their feet to make footprints on a big banner. A great fun day for all – an occasion the children are asking to be repeated next year.
