Thy Kingdom Come is fast approaching and, in our small, semi-rural parish, we have been gearing up for a while now. There are a lot of things on offer to try, a lot of imaginative cogs whirring round in our heads and a huge amount of potential for reaching out beyond our church walls.
I'll hold my hands up and say that when I first began working as a children and families worker at a large city-centre church I had little to no experience of working with under 5s. Having been a junior school teacher, I kind of knew what I was doing with the 7-11s, but anyone younger stumped me slightly.
