From Easter Joy to Practical Parenting Support
WRITTEN BY emma curtayne
THE KIDS EASTER PARTY - WHAT A TIME!
Our Kids Easter Party was nothing short of extraordinary—filled with joy, laughter, and the powerful presence of God. Over 200 children gathered to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, a momentous occasion made even more special by the many young ones who invited their friends to join in the fun and celebration.
From engaging games and exciting activities to heartfelt worship and vibrant storytelling, the day was packed with moments that not only entertained but also planted seeds of faith in young hearts. The atmosphere was alive with energy, and it was evident that something truly special was happening.
What made the day even more incredible, however, was the spiritual impact. In a beautiful and moving moment, 70 of our children responded to the gospel message, making the life-changing decision to accept Jesus into their hearts. We are already seeing the first signs of a spiritual harvest among our kids. Their enthusiasm, openness, and hunger for God are inspiring—and a testament to what happens when the gospel is shared with passion and purpose. There’s no greater joy than witnessing young lives transformed by the love and truth of Christ!

PARENTING COURSES WITH LORAINE LEE
As we look ahead to May, we’re delighted to welcome Lorraine Lee back once again to lead three engaging and practical online parenting courses throughout the year. These sessions are tailored specifically for parents and carers of both primary and secondary school-aged children.
Lorraine has become a trusted partner in our community, and thanks to the strong relationship we’ve built with her over time, she has generously agreed to offer these valuable courses at a significantly subsidised rate of just £7.75 per session.
The first online session in the series will focus on Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem on Thursday 1st May. Developing healthy self-esteem is crucial for a child’s emotional well-being and overall development. When children feel good about themselves, they are more likely to try hard in school, take positive risks, recover from setbacks, and build healthy relationships. Confidence helps children speak up, handle peer pressure, and explore new opportunities without fear of failure.
Lorraine will explore practical ways to help your child build their confidence from the inside out. She’ll share advice on how to use praise effectively, encourage independence, and foster a growth mindset—all while nurturing a safe and supportive environment at home. Whether you’re new to Lorraine’s sessions or returning for more guidance, these courses offer an excellent opportunity to reflect, connect with other parents, and walk away with actionable steps that make a real difference.
Book in now to reserve your space for this session which will be on Thursday 1st May from 8pm to 9pm. This is an online course and will take place via Zoom. The Zoom details will be sent to you after booking in and 24 hours before the event. The deadline to book is Sunday 27th April.
