The CFA station was a hive of activity after about 20 youngsters arrived to enjoy Messy Church on Friday 23rd November.
After registration, the children had some fun as shepherds looking after their sheep (white and black balloons) and managed to get their sheep into the correct sheep pens.
Then it was time to get creative and make some sheep and shepherd puppets or to try the colouring/decorating activities.

paper sheep puppetParticipants took one of their puppets across to the Co-operative Church to join in the storytime session which included a puppet play written by visiting minister Brian and Desri, where they learnt how we are all like sheep and that Jesus is The Good Shepherd.
A light meal was then enjoyed by all and the sheep were rounded up to go home with their creators.
Thanks to everyone who participated.... look out for the next session in 2019.
