The cross and the tomb

Children from the reception classes and years 1 and 2 from St James's School came to church today to learn about the Easter story.

Nearly two hundred children, a class at a time, came to learn about the cross and the empty tomb (we had constructed our own version in the church narthex), and then took part in a craft activity, involving an ingenious combination of paper folding and tearing which produced, much to the children's delight and surprise, a cross, which they could take home as a reminder of the day.

Revealed: the cross

The visits were the idea of the Junior Faith Group who have helped plan our end of term service in church on Thursday.
