Summer Family Service 2012


St Columba's Summer Family Service and Sunday School Prize Giving took place on Sunday 8th July.The Service, which was attended by about 90 people, was given an Olympic Games theme and some of the children can be seen carrying in  national flags, which they made themselves.
Hymns were sung including "Jesus loves his little children" which was led by the Sunday School.


Lessons were read by the young,


and the older.


An exciting new event; an "Olympic Torch Relay" took place when the children ran round the aisles with their "torches", stopping now and again to give greetings messages to members of the congregation.
The picture below shows the "torches" being "lit"

Mrs Edith Coleman handed out the prizes. She has been a Sunday School Teacher for several years but is now leaving Jersey to stay in Ireland. We wish her every future happiness!
She is seen here receiving a "bouquet in a basket" from one of the boys.
