T h e re was even a .


Last Friday, the themeli: The event is led by


young mums. Two of them, Jacque­


line Booth and Lisa Hall, told the story of St George using drama to involve the children.; . They explained what the Bible says about making-


• use of God’s Armour. ' - -They said it was about wearing truth like a belt around your waist, letting faith be like a shield, let­ ting God’s saving power' be like a helmet, thinking of God’s message like a sword to fight for good. A c t iv i ty was also


enjoyed by youngsters,


-led by Gillian Taylor and Emma^Magnall. Children were asked


to colour in a small pa­ per shield and write on it “What makes me strong?” - with the help from mums and dads in some cases. Answers ranged from


“good food” and “mummy and daddy” to “love” and


“ good friends”. The evening finished


with the song Be Bold, Be Strong and the children hung their shields on the Friday Praise Tree.
