All Saints with St. Philip, Maidstone
and St. Stephen’s Tovil

Advent Club Weekend 2004

With planning done and materials and helpers available 35 children attended St Philip’s Centre for two days on the first weekend in Advent.

David Freed had made a wonderful manger stage for a puppet show so the children could act out the nativity during the Sunday morning service. All the puppets were made from wooden spoon shapes with cut out characters clothed in robes. Shadow puppets were made to represent the Three Wise men on camels, also stars and palm trees.

The Nativity Story was then enacted by all the children with the puppets during a very emotive performance which held the congregation entranced making it a very memorable service for all taking part.

The children also made chocolate coated apples, with faces, as edible puppets as well as using up their energy, and the helpers, joining in parachute games to round the weekend off.

Thank you to all the children that took part and all the helpers for giving up their weekend.
