Paddington Praise Party, St Mark's Newtownards

On Saturday 10 November, St Mark’s Parish Centre in Newtownards was filled with fun and friendship as we celebrated the arrival of Paddington Bear to our town centre. Kids and leaders from our three worshipping communities in St Mark’s, Glen Community and West Winds Community Church planned an afternoon of crafts, games, food and fellowship while we thought about what it means to be part of the family of God.
