On Saturday 20th September, One
Way Puppets came to St. Francis' as we hosted one of their Regional
Training Days. The church building was
packed as people came to experience puppetry for the first time
or develop their skills further.
After the morning session the training
was split into three groups, one taking advantage of the good
weather to do their puppetry outside the building - something
that drew much attention at the time and much comment for days
after.
The training marked the formal
re-launch of the puppet ministry and we will be seeing a lot
more of the puppets and their use in ministry as the Kid's Club
begin to get to work with the many puppets that are to be found
in our church.
If you fancy getting into puppets
or would like to get involved with the Kid's Club and the puppets
there - don't hesitate to contact us.
Another training event is planned
for next year so keep your eyes on the website and the 'News
and Views' sheet.
