Sunflower Street
Come and meet the flowers and animals who live in Sunflower Street at 12 noon (till 12.45pm) on the first Thursday of each month during school term time. A puppet show that consists of story, song, prayer and craft activity, Sunflower Street is aimed at pre-school children and their parents and carers. Stories are based on a Bible story or moral “issue” such as friendship, caring for others, or being truthful. The audience are invited to bring a picnic and we provide the drinks.
