Over a two hour period there are activities set up for all to take part in, followed by a short ‘celebration’ which might include singing and sharing of a bible story then finally a gathering round tables to share some food.  It is not for children only but for all ages.  Babies, toddlers and children need to bring an adult along to keep them company.
