Holy week boxes – A message from Rev Rich
We couldn’t have our annual Easter service in St Mary’s Church, but Reverend Rich has an alternative for you. He is producing 9 short YouTube videos to help families think about the real meaning of Easter, using some simple items that you should be able to find around the house.
The first video is available here: https://youtu.be/3u10d7q8Mds
All future videos will be uploaded to the Facebook page for St Mary’s Church: https://www.facebook.
Day 10 Challenge – Guest challenge
Your final challenge of this term has been set by Rev Rich.
Can you create something related to the Easter story for your windows?
Maybe a home-made stained glass cross (using coloured tissue paper) or a cracked-open Easter Egg, representing new life through Jesus.
Good luck and remember to take a photo of your completed challenges!
Shropshire BEAM support
Please see the flyer below for more information about the service/support Shropshire BEAM* will be providing during the next few months. There is an extremely useful link, at the bottom of the flyer, to their online resources.
*BEAM is an emotional health and well-being service for children and young people across the Shropshire.
Day 9 Challenge
We’re all going on a bear hunt.
When you go out for your daily walk/exercise, how many teddy bears can you spot in other people’s windows?
Why not put some of your teddy bears in the window for others to count.
Good luck!
