Jonah and the Whale
It just seems as though The Net is getting better and better. This was certainly true in November, when we looked at the story of Jonah and the Whale. The highlight was when the hall was decorated to make it look like the inside of the whale, and we all went into the darkened hall carrying glow sticks, and listened to the story of Jonah and the Whale.
These photos give a flavour of some of the fun we had.

November's Net
We invite you to join us at The Net, on Sunday November 16th, between 4pm and 5pm, as we look at the story of Jonah and the Whale.
Don't worry if you've not been before, you will be assured of a really warm welcome at The Net, where the emphasis is on families having fun together, and learning about what matters most to us and God.

October's Net
Bringing The Walls Down
After the summer break (or what passed for summer), it was great to be back together again for the first Net of the autumn term, and what a Net it was. It was great to see a large crowd of families in church.
The theme for this Net was 'Bringing The Walls Down', where we were looking at the story of Joshua from the Old Testament, and how with God's help he and the Israelite army were able to bring the walls of Jericho crashing down.
After hearing about the story, we then had a busy time making uniforms and trumpets, ready to re-enact the story of Jericho. It was loud, mad chaos, as we walked around the walls of Jericho (made from a pile of boxes), blowing our trumpets before destroying the wall.

The Net: Sunday July 20th 2008
Summer is here, and to celebrate the fact, and to get ourselves ready for the excitement of the Olympics starting in August, we thought we'd hold our own Olympic Games at The Net on Sunday July 20th.
Although we won't be giving out medals, you can guarantee that we'll have lots of fun.
Because this will be the last Net before the summer holidays, we thought we'd finish off the day with a BBQ, so although The Net will last the usual hour (4-5pm) we hope people will be able to stay on beyond that so we can enjoy a barbie together.
We look forward to seeing you on the 20th July.

Treasure Island
On Sunday May 18th, we were looking for treasure at The Net.
A number of people turned up dressed as pirates, and we had a busy time making pirate hats, eye patches, and the pirates best friend 'Polly the Parrot', as well as making pirate biscuits and searching for gold.
At the end of The Net we helped 'Mad Mick' piece together his treasure map, which had been torn in pieces, and we learnt how the greatest treasure in the world is being a friend with Jesus. We finished our time together by singing a song and having a short prayer, before eating the biscuits we had made during The Net.
Mad Mick is much friendlier than he looks!

If you would like to see what The Net is like, why not join us on Sunday June 15th at 4pm, at St Martin's Church on the Sutton Road in Walsall.
You will be assured of a really warm welcome, and lots of fun!

Easter Activity Day
On Good Friday over 40 children packed into St Martin's Church for a fun packed Activity Day. During the day there was banner making, craft activities, puppet making, making musical instruments, and games. One of the main higlights was the drum session, led by the group 'Drum Love', who also participated in the service at the end of the day.
The church was packed with people for a special half hour service at the end of the Activity Day, in which the chidren played a major part.
The Net will be meeting next on Sunday April 20th at 4pm, where the theme is 'Who am I?'. Like the activity day there will be lots of fun creative activities taking place at The Net.
We hope to see you on the 20th!
