My dining room table continues to be the “crafting and production line”.
The Carr Dyke Group spreads across six churches with three primary schools (two Church of England). We know that not all the children in the villages go to these three schools, as the group has another three schools nearby. All the secondary school children from the villages travel to schools outside our group area too. We have realised that over recent years there has been nothing for those children we do not see and care for through our village schools.
Takeaway Church, which we thought was very apt, as this seems to be the only thing we can do, along with click and collect. This gives us the opportunity whilst our churches are closed to take our message out into the community.
We will leave boxes containing the takeaway bags outside two of the village Churches (Timberland and Walcott) for families to come and collect.
For February - Celebrate Lent and Valentine's Day with takeaway craft bags.
Celebrate the start of Lent and Valentines Day with Craft bags to pick up outside Timberland and Walcott Churches.
Children’s bags include materials to make the activities for you and any teenagers/adults in the house. There is enough material included to Love hearts and palm crosses. Mindfulness colouring pages also included.
We would love to see your creations. Please share your creations with me so I can put them on our Facebook page.
We hope that once we can gather at church and in groups again, this will lead to the children coming together to partake in a service/group activity that still allows them to “takeaway” something from the Church.
