We have a couple of confirmations for the children’s area at this year’s show.
We’re really happy to welcome back Andrew Wood who will be again baking with the children, this is always very popular and Andrew loves to involve his young audience on a practical level, making and baking and learning about ingredients.
NISCU Craven began in 1993. They work together with and get alongside schools to present the Christian faith in a fun and exciting way.
Since September 2003, Primary schools have also benefited from Bible Explorer. An Ofsted approved interactive teaching resource for year 5 & 6 pupils. Over a five week period of one hour lessons it aims to teach the storyline of the Bible. The children receive handouts and learning materials in conjunction with the course.
Peter Thomas joined NISCU as a part time worker in January 2003 and will be joining us in the marquee. He works in both secondary and primary schools in the south part of the Craven area. Before joining NISCU Peter was a full time minister. He has kept this up by combining both jobs and now works part time for NISCU and part time as a minister for a Congregational Church.
At the show Peter and his colleague Emily will be story telling, running drama workshops and craft activities.
In the children’s area there will also be an area where Mothers can feed and change their babies, and enjoy refreshments.
