We continue to move forward with a full on March.  The month started well with a fantastic story telling family event which people seemed to really enjoy.  Then off the back of the success of our weekly Friday stay ‘n’ play Little Treasures, we thought it would be good to try and run something specifically for the Dad’s.  Although Dad’s and male carers are very welcome (and a few are able to make it to Little Treasures) many are not free on a Friday morning.

So at the same venue (The Black Horse) but on a Saturday morning we put on ’Happy Hour!’ a stay ’n’ play for Dad’s and their kids.  For the kid’s; toys, snacks, a craft rocket to make and some parachute games to finish off with.  For the Dad’s there was tea & coffee, a free bacon buttie and football on in the background (although due to a technical fault this only lasted 5 mins, we will get this sorted for next time). There was 12 Dad’s and 18 kid’s.  Everybody seemed to have a good time and be up for running it again.  We are thinking maybe bimonthly would be good.

In March we also had the huge event that was our first Baptism!  This was a wonderful time and a real marker for the church.  A number of friends also made it along to witness this public statement of trust in Jesus.  It was actually a combined meeting as we also publicly gave thanks for the daughter of the young woman being baptised.

We are now building up to our next Alpha Taster on June the 4th at 8:00pm.  Again the Taster will be in the Black Horse but this time in the side bar with a free curry.  Watch this space for more posts in regards to this.
