Getting Christmas ‘Cracked’
In the two weeks leading up to the Christmas holidays, 1,637 year 6s (children aged 10/11) from 37 primary schools will have visited a church local to their school and experienced an hour and a half of ‘Christmas Cracked’ – a presentation about the Christmas story and what it means to Christians.
This year, 18 churches have run the newly updated presentation, either individually or with two or more churches coming together to pool ‘manpower’. All have been supported by Bridgebuilder in this – through providing the resources, or with training, or help with the presentation aspect if needed.
Would your church like to run Christmas (and Easter) Cracked for year 6s in your local primary school? If so, contact us…we would love to support you in this!
Barn Dance Success
Bring together a hundred people, a good band, freshly cooked fish and chips, Fair Trade stalls and a good venue and what do you have? Another successful Bridgebuilder Barn Dance!
During the interval, Rosie, Rachel and Lex wowed us with facts and figures relating to their work in schools this term, while Keith launched the challenge of the ‘Hundred Club’ for 2012. Can we find one hundred people to raise £100 each? Could you be one of them? [more on this later]
We thank everyone for their support on the evening and are pleased to report that the event raised £385 for Bridgebuilder.
