\n\u201cRoll-up, roll-up! For the Greatest Show on Earth!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThat will be the cry this month as our Holiday Club takes place from\n20 \u2013 22 August inclusive and we look forward to welcoming lots of\nchildren to hone up on their circus skills and also to learn some\nBible stories and reflect on them along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe Theme this year (in case you haven\u2019t guessed it!) is the Circus\nand we will be introduced to Mr Love-All, his son Junior; Mr\nBright-lights (the baddie \u2013 although he can change!); Joe a circus\nworker and a cast of thousands (well, a few more at least!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThere will be drama, there will be stories, there will be songs,\nthere will be crafts, there will be prayers, there will be games and\nsport. All the ingredients for a very enjoyable few days I am sure\nunder the careful and very thorough leadership of Anna and Alison and\ntheir teams of wonderful volunteers ….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAnd then we can all get an idea of what happened at the Family\nService on 1st<\/sup> of September when we hope Holiday Club\nmembers will come and share with us something of what they have\nlearned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nNow, because we need to transform the Church for those three days\ninto several Circus Big Tops it does mean that our usual Wednesday\nmorning Communion has to take a little holiday for just this week \u2013\nso no service on Wednesday 21<\/strong>st<\/strong><\/sup> August<\/strong>.\nI hope our more mature Christians will forgive us for this annual\nbreak, but we can welcome everyone back for our service as usual on\nthe following Wednesday \u2013 28th<\/sup> August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Anyone who is interested in their child or grandchild (aged 8 \u2013 10) attending should contact Anna Davies on asap<\/strong> please!]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And talking of shows \u2013 our Cathedral in Lichfield is staging another spectacular series of events in August, celebrating the anniversary of the Moon landing. Running from 8pm on Thursdays to Sundays from 8 August and including the Bank Holiday Monday, the interior of the Cathedral will be transformed by an internal Son-et-Lumiere , artworks and other installations \u2013 an experience not to be missed! Tickets available from www.lichfield-cathedral.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nSo while some activities take a break over the Summer months, there\nwill still be plenty of opportunity to find something to amuse, to\namaze and to entertain you…. and hopefully also to remind you that\nGod is there, unchanging and eternal and loving you just the way you\nare!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nHappy Holidays! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
