Next Monday and Tuesday – November 25th and 26th – MBC will be hosting its traditional Rewind to Christmas project. For the uninitiated Rewind is MBC’s largest children’s outreach venture. It’s the time when almost 400 Year 4 pupils from nine local primary schools call in to see us and learn through a mix of drama, craft, story telling and teaching what we as Christians believe Christmas is really all about.
This year, however, with Shelley Dring at the helm it’s fair to say that each and every one of our young visitors and their teachers will be in for an extra special treat. That’s because next week Shelley who is not only vastly experienced in children’s work but also in theatre, dance and performance art is introducing a number of new features which without breaking with almost two decades of MBC tradition will breath new life into this much loved project.
Please pray for Rewind to Christmas, pray for Shelley and her team but most of all pray that over each of our four, ninety minute sessions our visitors, children of all faiths and none will see and hear a presentation that is rooted in a story that is as relevant today as it was over 2,000 years ago.
Oh, and if you have time to spare next Monday or Tuesday it’s still not too late to join us. For more information contact Shelley either via the MBC office (0113 2693750) or by emailing shelley.dring.mbc@btconnect.com
Rewind is brilliant for the kids and equally so for the team – don’t miss out.
