Dave Fenton, Helen Buckley

Come to this practical workshop and think about how to engage children through visual ideas and other story-telling techniques. In the other half of the session we’ll look at the move from children to youth ministry. It was once said – ‘we lose children in the gaps not the groups’. How can we stop that happening and achieve a seamless flow from 0 to 18?
