Children's Fun Day Perth Saturday 19 March 2005.

Around 80 children of primary school age and 20 adults from 7 Churches had attended the Fun day. There had been around 8 young people of secondary school age attending and they had their own programme:- A look at Christianity in Action; Make Poverty History and a video on how gossip could be dangerous. The children were greeted by the Minister and his wife, Brian and Esther Dingwall. The day started with a prayer followed by some games. They then split into two groups - one to learn some songs and the other to make an Easter card. Each group had the opportunity of taking part in each activity. Prior to lunch Esther Dingwall told the children the Easter story. Following lunch all the children made puppets under the direction of Sheila McPhie in the absence of Mrs Hunter who had been ill, and we record our thanks to Mrs McPhie for stepping in. The children then played out the Easter story in poem form using the puppets they had made. Following this everyone sang the songs they had learned and the day ended with another game. Before leaving everyone was given an Easter egg. Once again, a very successful event.
