Around 250 visitors from the Southampton community came out for the kick-off event to June’s Real Life outreach programme.
Billed as ‘A Year in a Day’ and intentionally scheduled to take place before the easing of restrictions, the afternoon was a chance for local children – with their parents – to experience what they had missed out on during lockdown: pancake day, birthday party games, bonfire night, and Christmas cheer. The climax was Easter and an activity which illustrated the truth of the resurrection.
An adult quiz night followed a few days later, with church members encouraged to form teams of six with friends and colleagues around a local college sports hall.
