THE NEW ADULT FELLOWSHIP

On Wednesday 12th June the New Adult Fellowship group were privileged to have a visit and to be entertained by the children at Centaur Primary school. The children outnumbered us two to one, it was so good to see 100 children sitting in our church.

The programme consisted of two solos a young man of eleven playing his Cello, he had been learning for five years and was very professional.

Then a solo by a very young lady complete with a Mexican sombrero and French Beret who had only been learning the Clarinet for five months. Then a duet by two young men who were being taught by the school Principal playing the Clarinet.

An item by one kindergarten class with audience participation parts, they thought we looked FUNNY.

Finally the school choir sang.

The children were a delight, beautifully behaved and a credit to their parents, teachers and their school. Thank you to Audrey for arranging it.

The choir actually walked from the school so we were all thankful the rain held off, answered prayer, until later.
