Go M.A.D. 3 was the third installment of our popular children's workshop afternoon and evening. It was organized by our Circuit Youth Team and hosted for the first time by Broadstone Methodist Church in their fabulous new premises. This time the M.A.D. stood for 'Music And Drama' and along with our usual choice of drama and dance workshops we also tried a couple of activities that we'd not offered before - hand bell ringing and junk funk (which involves making music with all kinds of weird stuff including copper pipes and watering cans!) The running order was much the same as previous years:
This year we had 36 children that came along from Broadstone, Ashley Road and Upton Methodist Churches. They all got really stuck in to the activities which included:
The workshops were really successful and everyone was amazed at what they were each able to produce given only an hour. Some children were having a go at things which they'd never tried before and there was a great deal of enthusiasm all round. In the worship that evening all the workshops contributed and many children were out at the front of the Church with me leading the singing and actions. It was really encouraging to see so many parents come along for the service and join in too! All in all it seems to have been another worthwhile event and one which, all being well, I'm sure we'll repeat next year. You can have a look at some pictures that we snapped throughout the afternoon by checking out the Go M.A.D. 3 Gallery. Enjoy!
