Our Praise n Play group meets once a week with a missional vision to introduce under 5's and their regular carers to a life with Jesus.
We are successful in this by using bible stories and godly play, music and song, and craft activities linked to stories and seasonal festivals. We end each session with an interactive prayer, often led by the children themselves.
The group has become a great success amongst children and adults, resulting in families attending church together and Baptisms being held.
Last Summer we began extending our offer of sessions and added extended play opportunities for families with children of all ages where we met for 1hour of planned play activities then sat together for lunch and conversation. We found this was a great way of uniting our already existing regularly attending church families with the families of our younger PnP families. Requests for this to continue has meant we had a Summer's table of events.
