Easter
Oh Easter! (Do I hear groans? )– only just over Christmas and the shops are thinking of Easter already!!
Sorry to disappoint but I am not talking about ‘the shops’. I am talking about School assembly teams – more especially the Farnham Assembly and Schools Team (FAST ) – never heard of them? I bet that there is a good chance that your children have, if they are in a Farnham primary school – why not ask them.
For over 10 years FAST have been taking the Gospel, Bible stories and much more into Farnham Primary schools. FAST is made up of volunteers from different churches, different backgrounds, different ages, different skills, different …………. I could go on but I do want you to read on but not get bored – you see - FAST is not at all boring – not for the children we see in school or for the volunteers.
Last Christmas FAST saw over 1500 children by going into schools with a Christmas assembly and/or lessons. We helped make Christmas angels, Christmas mobiles, Nativity scenes, the Christmas story in boxes…….. again the list is almost endless.
This Easter FAST is already booked to visit 7 Farnham primary schools taking the Easter story into school halls and classrooms. In the office Easter mobiles, wreaths, colouring books – Easter preparation of resources has been in full swing since the last day of the Christmas term.
Interested in finding out more about FAST ? Please do contact us (details below). We don’t ask for much, as the saying goes “Every little helps” and we do realise everyone lead such busy lives these days and that family comes first. The children of Farnham are like a big family and we love to see them but – come on now you knew there was a but coming – but we do need volunteers in every capacity of our work and you don’t need to go into the classroom if you don’t wish to.
Thank you for reading this, I hope you found it interesting enough to want to find out more – there are a lot of stories to tell and to inspire, we would love to meet you for an informal chat.
