The Kids Ministry at Rayleigh Vineyard is changing!! Planet Kids will be launched on 1^st December and will be split into 3 different age groups. Tiny babes up to 2 years olds will become the SHOOTING STARS. The 2 year olds up to 5 year olds will be the ROCKETS and the 6 to 10 year olds will become the COMETS.

Anna Favier has been our Kids Coordinator for 3 years and has done an amazing job with the children’s ministry in the Vineyard, but she is now going to develop the women’s ministry as her main focus and as one of our core leaders.

Planet Kids is an exciting new venture for us as a church and we are all looking forward to the changes that will be made as our Children’s Ministry grows. Planet Kids meets on a Sunday morning at Downhall School during Sunday Vineyard (10.30 to Noon).

Rayleigh Vineyard held a Kids Party on Oct 31^st. The theme was Peter Pan and it was fancy dress. We had food, games, prizes, dancing, loads of activities. Mermaid Island where we did loads of drawing and colouring. Put the cross on the Treasure Island map to guess where the gold is hidden. Tee Pee soft play corner for the very young ones. Loads of food and drink was had by all. Red Indian bumps and statues at the end of the day rounded off a lovely and thoroughly enjoyable evening!”

Rayleigh Vineyard had a visit from a former member last month. Claire from Australia paid us a visit in October and stayed for lunch. It wasn’t quite a Barbie on the Beach like she is used to in Brisbane but it was great to see her again. Claire led worship at the Vineyard in 2008 and has been sorely missed since. Persuading her to come and stay in the UK has proved a fruitless exercise but we won’t give up trying!
