The Scenes

The new beginning

In the setting of a living room and again using 'Godly play', the children were reminded of the story of Creation and the journey they had experienced in order to explain how Jesus had come to make things right between God and man via the cross and resurrection. Each child was given a book to take home explaining what they had just seen.

For further details of the 'Godly play' approaches see www.barnabasinchurches.org.uk and find 'Stories stories, everywhere' by Martyn Payne (hint: use the search boxes on the upper left of the home page, put "Find articles/info" in the top box and put "Frodsham" in the bottom one, then click on the small box with two chevrons).
