Children, families and school work

Messy Church/Children and Family Ministry – these continue to keep us busy in a positive way! Messy Church continues to grow worldwide. I have recently taken a role on the national Church of England board for children, youth and families.

Please pray for Bishop Paul Butler of Durham and the group as it seeks to support and develop these vital areas of ministry.

Barnabas In Schools – our new theme in our range of resources has a focus on Christianity around the world. This supports the new framework for church schools and is proving popular.  Please pray that schools will gain an insight into the richness of the Christian faith worldwide.

Other popular themes are those focussing on WW1 & the concept of peace and faith in conflict and those focussing on values such as responsibility, respect, forgiveness and friendship. All connect closely with current national and world issues.

As always prayers for safety as the team travel particularly in the darker, colder days are much appreciated.
