Family Fun Mornings at Hemblington Church

Children of all ages are invited to join in a morning of games and crafts at Hemblington Church on Tuesday 1st and Thursday 3rd August from 10 am until 12 noon.

We plan to create a sky filled with angels to display in the church, make finger puppets, design flying objects (and compete to see which flies best), play giant Jenga, solve puzzles, decorate biscuits, eat cake and generally have a good time. Immediately following the Thursday session there will be a barbecue lunch.

Please note that children attending this event must be accompanied by an adult. There is no charge for the event.

After refreshments the group braved the cold winds to undertake the first wild plant survey of the year, noting some 46 plants and seeing or hearing 13 different species of birds. This event was organised by the Friends of All Saints Hemblington. Thanks to David Bryant for this photo of the event. Click on the photo to see a larger version.
