Summer Family Fun from Beaminster Team Churches

Beaminster Team Churches - Holiday FunAs an alternative to their usual summer activities which cannot proceed due to social distancing,  Beaminster Team churches are putting together activity packs for families to help ease some of the summer holiday boredom. Each pack contains suggestions and resources for crafts, science experiments, art projects and activities themed around four bible stories. There will be accompanying videos on their website.

Most activities are achievable by children on their own if they can read the instructions. Younger children might require more support and some activities are for the whole family to enjoy. There is a weekly challenge to complete and send in a photo to win a prize.

Free resource packs will be available from 27th July. You need to register to receive one of these. Please complete the form HERE.

They are also putting some suggestions in the pack for the family to pray together and talk about God together. If you are interested in growing faith at home do look at the links below which they believe might give you some suggestions. They are also happy to help support you.

The BIG Butterfly Count 17th July – 9th August 2020

BIG Butterfly Count on iPhoneToday, July 17th, sees the start of the Butterfly Conservation’s BIG Butterfly Count.

The BIG Butterfly Count is a UK-wide survey aimed at helping to assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) we see. It was launched in 2010 and has rapidly become the world’s biggest survey of butterflies.

They are asking that between Friday 17 July and Sunday 9 August, you choose a place to spot butterflies and moths. Each day, watch for just 15 minutes.
Using the free ID chart – identify and record the butterflies you spot.

It’s very easy for you to take part:
