Published 17/11/17Rev Les came and collected the Samaritan's purse shoeboxes from our school and blessed them for a safe journey to their destination. Rev Les says:
"A huge 'thank you' to people from the churches and the families of the Forest Federation of schools who filled boxes with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for needy children.

The theme of the worship was ‘peace’ as this is the fruit of the spirit that the children are focusing upon this half term. The children were very thoughtful and reflective in their participation in the service and we thank Reverend Les for visiting us. We look forward to our thank you service for Reverend Les which is on Monday 13th November at 9.15am in the church. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Published 01/11/17this is just a little update to say that the children are having a ball. They have been blessed with good weather and the activities, food and sleep have been successful (well the sleep as expected). As they enter day 3 they will be getting more tired but the fun they are having and the teams they are building is worth it! There is little connectivity there and staff are on duty the whole time so it’s a bit different to the other sites where they had time to message and post photos. Anyway, just a little update to say that the children are happy and safe and having fun.
