Forest Church this Sunday

Dear Friends,

It’s Forest Church this coming Sunday- 3pm at Bicton School. If you are hoping to join us, below are the instructions about timings, what to bring and how to get there….
What to bring

Please bring your own picnic and drink. Do wrap up warm and bring a chair to sit on if you’d like to. It would also be a good idea to wear strong shoes- the ground is uneven and muddy in places. We’ll have a number of Advent -themed activities that you can get involved in. Because it is a school site, dogs are not permitted on this occasion.

 The Plan

We will be flexible and we also want to keep things fairly informal. Here is an outline of the afternoon:

3pm – Introduction from the Bicton children, welcome and an opening prayer

3.15-3.50pm – Activities and exploring the site – there’s a Forest School area, a sensory garden and plenty of playground equipment!

3.50pm – A brief worship service

4pm – Picnic Time

With love and blessings,
