Calling Young Disciples, Mission Enabler, Helen Laird, helped the parish to organise the picnic. She said: 

walking through a 'snow storm'"We had lots of fun with our play food! We heard the story of WereGoing on a Bear Hunt and then actually had an interactive walk through of thestory - we walked through dangly green things as grass, we paddled in shallowrather than deep water, some were brave enough to squelch in the mud (chocolatepowder, cornflour & water), then braved the deep dark forest which was bushtrimmings attached to reduced gazebo frame, then onto the cotton woolsnowstorm, Crawling through a tunnel

followed by a crawl through a play tunnel and then a tiptoe into thedark cave, where they found a bear and then ran up the church and under aparachute as the bedclothes.
