Prepare the space

Ideas for a focal point with adults and all ages

If you have a flexible worship area, set it out in café style — several small tables, each with an attractive cloth, a tea light-type candle (high street shops sell cheap containers to make tea lights safe) and a small basket of goodies such as satsumas and wrapped sweets.

If your building is more traditional, make up some little ‘token’ bags so that as people arrive they receive the items that are on the tables above — one bag per family or row of seats. (Small squares of cloth, cut with pinking shears and caught up with an elastic band, are fine.)

Have some gentle music playing — some worship songs or the organist playing quietly.
