Easter 2004 - Easter Gardens

We acted out the story of Easter Day, with some women and then the disciples finding the tomb empty. The women were told that Jesus had come alive again. We then used materials from the garden to design several Easter Gardens. Most of these has an empty tomb. Some of them also showed the cross on which Jesus was killed.

What happens a Sunday School?

Sunday School meet each Sunday in Sturry church at 9:30am. For the Family Service and All-age services, Sunday school remain in church. On other Sundays during term-time, after the children's part at the beginning of the service we go across to the Sturry Social Centre for fun, games, discussion and worship.

  

• We come together to worship
• We come together to pray
• We come together to hear God's word
• We come together to praise
• We come together to meet God.
  
  
• And we come together to have fun.

Jesus wants us to follow him; following can be fun or hard work.

Sunday school Prayers, Family Gift Service, 2003.

Sunday school helped read the prayers at the Family Gift Service. We made these cards at Sunday school; some of us wrote prayers and others drew pictures of them. At the Gift Service, some of us read the prayers and others lit candles.
