Such a brilliant few days visiting Growing Faith Learning Hubs. Thanks to @NorthstoweC in @DioceseofEly for welcoming me yesterday and to the Sharnbrook Deanery in @diostalbans for hosting me today! From deck chairs to toddler groups, such fantastic Growing Faith taking place.
Today, we hosted Sharnbrook Deanery’ conference as they prepare to launch their @GrowingFaithFdn Hub. The most striking moment was when we ended our time asking a 16 year old lad for his message to the churches in our area.

As Christian parents, it's sometimes tempting to fall back on church to do the bulk of our kids' discipling.
But have you seen this? Our kids spend way more time with us than in church! Why not join our next course to discover how we can use these hours!

Today Becky was asked to speak to some year 3 children about Easter celebrations in a Baptist church. She took a leaf out of @nonblondie37’s book and used Peter Rabbit to demonstrate baptism!
