Our creche is run by Margaret King. Margaret says: One of the greatest honours that our Lord has bestowed on me is teaching his very youngest of children. He showed me exactly how he wanted his children taught. Firstly, he wanted them to be able to speak to him as soon as they could talk, and instead of saying "let's pray" the Lord taught me to say "let's speak to Jesus". Then we say a simple prayer with a drink and a biscuit so that the children learn to thank him for what he provides. Also he wanted a blanket laid on the floor so that the children could sit on it and be read to from the Bible and prayer books; he wanted them to learn action songs and colouring activites and have plenty of toys; and he wanted us to end creche for the day by holding hands in a circle so that we could thank Jesus for our time together, tell him anything we want to say, and ask Jesus to make anybody better who wasn't very well. It is such a joy and a blessing to hear a small child name the name of Jesus for the very first time. We hope the children grow up with a strong sense of God's love for them.
