It’s going to be so exciting, so children please ask your parents if you can partake in this new venture and bring them along for light refreshments this Sunday. During our first session we are going to be decorating cupcakes, we may even have our very own Delia Smith in the congregation!!!!!! We look forward to seeing as many children and families as possible. ALSO if any family has a Christening in Church and would like us to organise light refreshments for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
