Our church took that on board and out of it came "St'A's 4 All" ((Pronounced Stars for all!) which is a sort of text -speak version of "St Aidan's for All!!!" This is held in a local Primary school, for children of all ages, and involves them in craft and drama and all sorts of activities- refreshments- and then worship and a story with Paul Cain, who is truly gifted with a ministry for the youngsters. This has brough many young families into our church, including a Chinese family who are totally committed.Paulinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608187683160255783.post-1057884427363806082012-06-22T14:33:15.591-07:002012-06-22T14:33:15.591-07:00Thanks Judith, sounds exciting !

Nigel already has three other churches using his church on a Sunday. This is very common in Barking & Dagenham.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835712489110348288noreply@blogger.com
