Pumpkin party packed out! |
|
Our Pathway Pumpkin Party has been another huge success for our outreach in the community programme.
More than 20 excited children, together with their just-as-excited mums, dads, grandmas and carers, enjoyed an afternoon of fun craft activities and games all based on the ‘Pumpkin Heroes’ theme from World Vision.
And because no party would be complete without food, the afternoon was rounded off with a super tea of fish fingers, beans, pumpkin toast, jelly and cake! and a chance to watch the ‘Pumpkin Heroes’ video.
Our development worker, Debbie Andrew, who organised the party with the help of other church members, said: “It was great to see so many young people in our church enjoying themselves - but it was hard to say who had more fun, the children or the adults who came with them!”
Well done, Debbie and the team. Watch out for details of our next community events.

Success for Summer Holiday
|
The Pathway has once again hosted a hugely successful “Holiday At Home” Club over the six-week summer holiday - and this one was bigger than ever.
Advertised on social media and the village school app, the club drew applications from 22 families in and around Middleton-in-Teesdale with 36 children taking part. In total, 92 family members were involved. The theme this time was ‘parables’ and each week the team provided ideas and resources for craft activities, games and songs based on a parable, along with recipes and ingredients to make a simple, healthy meal for all the family. Debbie Andrew, the Pathway's development worker, said: “The families collected their packs from The Pathway, so we were able to connect with them for a short while each week. In addition many posted photos on our Facebook group. “The club went really well and we’re especially pleased that we’re still connecting with many of the families that have joined in with this and previous Holiday at Home Clubs.” Funding came from Durham County Council, The Stephen Mitchell Memorial Shoot, and Middleton Co-op, plus donations from members of The Pathway. “We’re very grateful to everyone who helped in any way,” Debbie added. “Once again the club was really well received with lots of positive comments. When we asked what we could do better we were told: 'Do it for longer because I love it so much!’” |
