…..There’s More……

Can you guess what foxes, sumo wrestlers, owls, bouncy castle and a rabbit in a hat have in common? Read on……

This week will be a hectic one for our family and our church, as we are involved in an entire week of community outreach.

Yesterday morning we had a Family Fun morning, similar in style to our Fall Fest but without the pumpkins!  An animal rescue centre brought along some of their residents including 2 owls, a fox, rabbit, ferret and hedgehog. 
.
A fire engine complete with hose to squirt and 2 police motor bikes with flashing lights proved to be very popular.  Sumo wrestling padded costumes were a definite highlight and 
there was even a magician at the end and the kids were fascinated by the tricks as well as the slapstick humour.

Here are some photos of my son enjoying the morning activities:

 

 

 

 

As part of each of the events, designed to be welcoming to non-church friends too, there will be a short talk from a team of speakers – sharing of how “there’s more” for all of us through a personal Christian faith. 

• Last night there was a Scottish Ceilidh where along with other the usual supper there was black pudding and turnip being served by a certain church member wearing a kilt and proud of his heritage!

• This morning the kids were provided breakfast in Sunday School, and the parents were invited to enjoy croissants and coffee along with the morning papers.

• A mums and daughters craft night

• A pub quiz

• A ladies chocolate fondue night

• Salsa dancing

• Laser Skirmishing

• Community Concert …..and there’s more!
