Over the years they’ve seen many children grow up and develop and they have made a positive difference in the lives of so many children, parents, and grandparents. During the years many crafts have been made and songs sung, many insides of loo rolls have been collected, many toys fixed, and many parents given invaluable advice and guidance. For 20 years the group was run every Tuesday and Friday, reducing to once a week in 2014. Most recently, during the coronavirus pandemic, the group continued to run online as well as hosting outside walks and events when permitted. Holly Parsons will now be taking over leadership of the group assisted by Emma Singleton. Kay has decided to pass on the baton to spend more time with her family, especially her new grandson, Oliver. Janine also feels the time is right to step down after so many happy years. Holy Trinity Church and all the many parents and children who have attended 0 to 5s would like to send a big thank you to Kay and Janine their dedication and commitment to supporting local Lex, Mugabo, Issac, Nathan, Katie, Nick and Abi families. with Brooke kneeling MISSION COMMUNITY INFORMATION CHURCH SERVICES Sunday services in church will continue as below until further notice.
