Beach Party Outreach Packs Sheringham Church

Lighthouse Community Church in Sheringham was packed with children and young people at the end of half term week as the annual BeachLife indoor beach party got underway Around 140 children, along with many of their parents were there during the afternoon, for a time of beach games, challenges, crafts and ice cream For many, the highlight was the huge inflatable “Whack- a-mole” game

The theme of the afternoon was Thankfulness, and Methodist minister Sharon Thraves reminded the children why being thankful is so important, while two leaders competed with two of the children in compiling and eating a sandwich with a bizarre combination of fillings!

The evening session was aimed at teenagers, with more games, challenges and ice cream, following the eight litres of ice cream consumed that afternoon! Connor Winston shared his thoughts about how having a thankful heart can help to combat anxiety and contribute to a more fulfilling life

Peter Skivington, who leads the BeachLife organising team, said “It was great to see Lighthouse packed with children and young people coming together and having a great time It’s clear that we were meeting a need for such an event at the end of the winter half term ”
