Pictured is the first meeting at North Luffenham community centre on Monday 1st November. The next meeting will be on Monday 15th November at 3.30pm in South Luffenham village hall. Children of all ages welcome (must be accompanied by an adult) for fun, food, singing and crafts.
The children and their parents came to church to see the Harvest Festival decorations they had made. They had great fun doing a fruit hunt and sing song.
