Loop Explorers

Loop Explorers
We are delighted that we can now offer a midweek group for primary school-aged children, two Thursdays a month, 4.30pm-5.30pm at Bicton Church. It is particularly for children who would value time to explore their faith, make friends and learn more about the Bible. Each session, we’ll do practical and interactive activities that are linked to a theme, share news and have a short time of prayer and worship. We’ll spend some time in the church, and some outside- engaging with the natural world.
We have spaces left for seven children- please do let us know if your child would like to come  (email Hannah at revhannahlins@gmail.com). The dates for the coming term are:
16th October
6th November
20th November
4th December
18th December

It has been lovely to see our new Reception children getting to know the other year groups.  As the weather turns colder, please ensure named coats are brought into school.  We are already accumulating a lot of unnamed school uniform so please make sure jumpers/cardigans are labelled with your child’s name.
