SOUTH MALLING CHURCH: Last week the Children's Club began a project which looks like lasting until late November. They are creating an installation, inspired by Grayson Perry and based on the episode of the loaves and fishes in the New Testament. It is hoped also to involve the school. At the end of the service the children and their leaders proudly brought out a massive template of a fish, which they had filled in with small, colourful plastic ponies to make a very impressive and professional start. When the installation is complete it will illustrate the way in which five loaves and fish can become food for five thousand hungry people. More of this as the children work out the miracle, in metal and plastic, in the next few months. This coming Sunday, Revd Dick Field will lead a service of Holy Communion, with Reader, Ken Bridger, speaking about what Jesus told the disciples about his forthcoming death and resurrection. Children are welcome and will have their own teaching and activity during the service, which begins at 9.30am.
