The gifts received at our Harvest Festival were sent out to the sick and elderly in the community by some of our Junior Church members and their families.

 

As our harvest teaching theme, we have learned about 'Roots and Fruits', including re-telling Jeremiah 17 in modern language and learning how we need to grow strong roots in the Lord because life is lived from the roots upwards.  We also talked about the fruits of the Spirit, including trying to match an appropriate fruit to each gift, which was fun.  Other lessons have included 'Share the Moment', when we read about Peter's reaction to the transfiguration and 'We are Family',  when Paul continued to give advice on how Christians are to live.

 

Two of our members had a great time taking part in Callington Primary School's performances of the musical 'Hoodwinked' based on the story of Robin Hood.  They took part in singing and dancing in the show as members of the after school drama club and choir.  Proceeds from the performances were sent to their 'twin' school in Africa; and well done to another member who took part in the City of Plymouth Championships and won three gold medals and two silver medals in his age group and trophies for first place and sixth place in the championship finals of the 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle respectively.
