At Noah’s Ark this week we were having fun printing with apples and blackberries. Also a grandmother with her new grandchild was enjoying the afternoon, with Pat’s famous homemade carrot cake and tea for all!      We were looking at the theme of “The Mustard Seed” and thinking about how the largest and smallest things are all so important and work together. We planted mustard seeds and went on a treasure hunt for pennies to put on a map of our area to show what we treasure in our community. Everyone had a lovely time followed by delicious sausage casserole and stewed apples and custard. Thank you to everyone who came and to the team. Next Messy Church in on Sunday 13th October. All welcome.    We had a big turnout for the Teddy Bears’ Picnic service in Southleigh on 1 September. We started with a small and simple act of worship. Many Southleigh families turned out and a wide range of soft toys were launched from the tower, with bravery certificates for all. The afternoon concluded with a cream tea, much appreciated – especially by the stalwart team who climbed the tower.    A Teddy Bears Picnic took place in warm sunshine at Noah’s Ark today (18th July) in the grounds of Chapel of Ease of Saint Michael, Colyford. The children and their families enjoyed a teddy bear hunt, singing and dancing, parachute play and a story. A lovely tea was provided by the wonderful team of volunteers and visiting German students kindly helped with face painting. Noah’s Ark will recommence again in the new school term in September, but all the team would like to wish everyone a happy summer with your families.        Children from Branscombe School and the Jubilee Federation had a lovely time in the sunshine on the beach on Monday July 8th. They worked together beautifully as a team to sculpt this image of the Titanic using different coloured pebbles.
