PRAISE AND PLAY

Praise and Play Activity Page

Teddy Horsley features in our fortnightly Praise and Play sessions in the Parish Centre. At this time when we can’t gather, we have asked Teddy Horsley to come up with some activities that families can do at home.

So, every week Teddy Horsley will have some challenges for you. If you manage to complete any of them, why not send a picture to praiseandplayatMellor@gmail.com, so that we can put some of them on this website or the church Facebook page?

Week 15: Summer Holidays

One of the good things about lockdown for Teddy Horsley has been sharing adventures with you. He’s signing off this week, for his summer holidays, but he wants us all to head off knowing that, wherever we are and whatever we’re doing, Jesus will always be with us.

• Get creative!

Over the summer, why don’t you make a book of the adventures that you have with your teddy? You could draw pictures, or take some photos, or stick in a feather/ticket/pressed flower/paper napkin. And remember: Jesus is always with you!

• Get active!

Perhaps this summer you could set a challenge for you and your teddy. Maybe you could walk further than you’ve ever walked before. Or you could climb a hill together. Or you could learn to catch a ball. What will your summer challenge be?

• Get watching!

Here’s an animated reminder of some of the things we’ve been learning over the last few weeks… and a reminder that Jesus is always with us too.

• Get singing!

We love this song! It’s the one that we sing at the end of every Praise and Play at Mellor. Now you can sing it at home too.

Alligator Goodbye

• Get praying!

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for looking after us during lockdown and for helping us to learn more about you, (with the help of Teddy Horsley.)

Please bless us this summer with rest and fun. Help us to know that you’re always with us, wherever we are and whatever we’re doing.

Please look after us all, until we connect again in September.

Thank you, Jesus.

Amen
