During the current difficult situation when we cannot hold our usual activities for families, such as Messy Church, we are suggesting links to some websites and providing some ideas which we hope will help you during this time. Do send us pictures of anything you create - we'd love to see them!

Remembrance Day (or Poppy Day) can be challenging to think about, but the concept of thankfulness can be an easier one to understand. Being thankful feels especially significant this year; we can be thankful to God and to those who help us, protect us and keep us safe. On Poppy Day, we can especially remember those who helped us,and still help us, in times of war and conflict. Click onMessy Remembrance at Home to share in some family activities.
