Last weekend we had a training day at the Round Church led by our good friend Chris Watt from 'Out of the Box' in Inverness. All of the churches on Islay sponsored the visit which was endorsed by our Presbytery Youth Worker Jess Reynolds. The photo below just gives an idea of what happened on the Saturday but Chris also came along to three services on Sunday and was well received by young and old alike. It is clear that the proper use of puppets could be a usful communication aid in so many settings eg schools, Sunday Club, open air events and Sunday Services.
Next steps?
Buy some puppets, get training, get script writing, and then go for it !
