Tea-time Church

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
	Happy Medley Available as a bible-bop video with words and music - Download - Sample The backing track is distributed using PRS Licence LE-0035170 . 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

For the communal craft we suggest making a poster based on the Ascension picture provided. Write on it "I will be with till the end of the world". Have some figure shapes ready for the children to fill in their faces and colour in their clothes. These can then be stuck onto the poster - Download

For cooking we suggest making an Ascension cake together. Have some green, blue and white coloured icing and a fairly large sponge cake. Use the green for the ground, blue for the sky and white for the clouds. Feel free to eat it for tea.

Tea

We have found that sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, pizza, jelly and ice cream make a really good Sunday tea. It would also be great to add some Christmas treats such as Mince pies, Christmas Cake, Chocolate Logs etc.

The Notes suggest a number of "I wonder questions" to start conversations about the video and the story.
