Meets Wednesday evenings at 7pm in the church hall in term time and usually perform at the once-a-month family services and on other special occasions.  We always perform at the most popular family services, such as the Christmas Crib Service, Mothering Sunday, Operation Christmas Child and such like.  At our regular evening meetings we spend our time planning the performances to help convey the message of the service, choosing an appropriate song, planning our moves, making costumes, making props, then its practice, practice, practice. We are always happy to welcome back people who have been part of the crew in the past and we are always happy to welcome new members.  Being part of the Puppet Ministry means being dedicated to do our best for the young families who attend our church and in return we often have lots of fun and laughter.
