An introduction to Tea-time Church

Worship

	The complete PowerPoint file for Tea-time church - Download Remember to download all the videos you wish to use and always keep them in the same folder as the PowerPoint file. If you wish to use your own musicians it is a simple matter to delete our video slides and insert the words versions using "Insert Slides from file ..." or "Reuse Slides". You can also easily remove any part that you don't need or insert your own material. There are also complete Notes - Download

The words are copyright: © John Hardwick and used with permission. Please do not pass it on outside the IDEAS scheme and declare its use on your CCLI report. We find that a bible-bop is a great way of moving from the games into the worship. Children prefer this to singing and this will draw them to the worship area. We suggest using it again after tea to draw people back to the worship area.

Craft

Each month we suggest a couple of crafts. One is a corporate activity to produce something to put up on the wall or in the church to show that children are present, active and part of the church. The other is individual for them to make something and take it home.

For the corporate craft we suggest a large sheet of paper with "God invites us to His feast" on it and then provide some magazines with food in them and invite everyone to find their favourites, cut them out and stick them onto the sheet.

For the cooking craft we suggest making dolphin bananas as in the picture. You could use grapes as in the picture or blueberries.

Then you could make invitations to the feast. Ask the children to think who they would target the invitations to and then make the invitation to suit.

Tea

We have found that sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, pizza, jelly and ice cream make a really good Sunday tea. The Notes suggest a number of "I wonder questions" to start conversations about the video and the story.
