What’s all the fuss about Easter?

What is Easter all about? Why do we have hot cross buns? Why are there pictures of a cross? Why do we have eggs? Why are the chicken and rabbit a symbol of Easter? Why did Jesus have to die? Is Easter a sad or happy time?

All of these questions and more have been answered in Little Knights over the past few weeks. It was awesome to come up last Sunday and see the kids having hot cross buns with strawberry jam, and even have several of them explain why there are crosses on the buns. It’s great to see that even some of the littlest in our church community can have a concrete, real understanding of the significance of Easter.

So if, while the eggs are being passed around, your children inform you of the reason why we as Christians should give eggs to each other, DON’T BE SURPRISED :) !

Family Games Cafe

Family Games Cafe is a new event which has the aim of providing an opportunity for families and friends to socialise and spend some quality time together doing something which all ages will enjoy. Feel free to come along. The games which will be provided are not your normal run of the mill Hasbro games, but actually come from a very popular genre called designer games. All of these game rely on skill rather than luck, and there are a variety ranging from Go Away Monster which is suitable for two year olds, right up to games which will perplex experienced chess players (Through the Desert will suit people of this mindset), as well as games where you can be knights, gunslingers, real estate dealers, or even bean farmers...

Cafe facilities will be available (i.e. there WILL be good coffee.)

Come along for a great time.

MI Kidz!!
