Southchurch: Update Day 2 Tuesday Extreme Hope

So today was April Fools Day and fortunately everyone was so focussed on God that no one pulled any pranks - either that or they were all too shattered.

The morning started off with worship led by Tim Churchward with his unusual hair. He talked about our identity and our hope in Jesus, quoting lots of chunks out of his dad's sermon from Sunday so brownie points to him!

We then had a kid's club where there were about 60 kids and 30 or 40 adults on top of that.

The theme for the afternoon was Noah's Ark and they made masks, collages, colouring in, pictures of animals and iced biscuits. The mums were treated to a bit of pampering and a bit of 'them' time too. We also had football over the park which had to be 15 a side. A good time was had by all.

The evening was back to SCF for grub and games in the evening including a huge game of empires which was won by Rachel Macclean.
