EXPERIENCE EASTER

Experience Easter was a resounding success this year as always.
We were privileged to tell the Easter story to 420 children from 
Bowlee Park, Parkfield and Parish schools.

Palm Sunday
Talking to the children about Hopes and Dreams

Washing of the feet,
Showing the children how Jesus was the Servant King

The Last Supper
Enabling the children to do as the disciples did
on that last night of Jesus' life
Breaking and sharing bread and drinking the wine




The Garden of Gethsemane.
Asking the children to think how Jesus felt when he was 
Alone and afraid



The Crucifixion
Telling the story of the cruelty and the reason
for the death of Jesus.


Resurrection
the children hear about how afraid the disciples were when
 they realised the stone had been rolled back  and the
body of Jesus was gone!

He is Risen


We thank Hilary for organising the event this year and all the
helpers, who pulled together to make this a brilliant event.




BRIGADE EASTER CRAFT

The Brigade took some time off from their Band practice
to make cards, cakes and decorate Easter biscuits. 
They look scrummy!
What a pity there was no Father Philip to try them out!!

A very special day to be Baptised.

MALARIA NO MORE

In November 2013 the Brigade were tasked with raising enough
money to purchase 50 nets to save children in Africa from 
being bitten by mosquitos.

They have raised money by running a treasure hunt, making loom band bracelets for their families and the congregation, selling fridge magnet crosses and holding a raffle for a huge basket of sweets as first prize, a large cuddly toy as second prize and a much coveted Baby Oleg toy as third prize.

With the help of the congregation, they have actually raised 

£600

This is enough to buy

120 Nets

Well done Brigade!
