Husband's Birthday and Messy Trees

As some of you will now it was S2C's birthday on Friday - and we celebrated it quietly with a meal at an Indian Restaurant and a chat to D-d on the phone. I'm not sure what her gift to him is, as we are still waiting for it to arrive in the post! She says she ordered it about 2 weeks ago, so hopefully, any day now.... and it is a nice way to stretch the celebration

Then on Saturday it was Messy Church. One of the others was taking the pictures this week so I don't have a lot to share.

But we had good fun with our theme of autumn leaves. There were leaf prints, and cakes with autumn coloured leaves on them - I had children making autumn leaf brooches out of felt, and then the 'joint art' project was to make autumn tree hangings with real leaves.

Then we had thought about whether autumn was a happy time, or a sad time - would God see it as a happy time or a sad time? And a story looking at that question. Then the 'cauliflowers fluffy' song, a short prayer - and tea together. As always, it was a lovely couple of hours that flew past very quickly.

And here is a picture of the first of the autumn leaf brooches -




And the autumn tree hangings -



Aren't they fun?
