We are thrilled to be introducing our very first local Playtime event, which will be held in the south-west, in Barnstaple. We’re bringing together local toddler groups, speakers and church networks to support you with a more personal event in your area.
Gathering together opens up so many opportunities to resource each other locally, to give support in the challenging times as well as the good, but most importantly to pray together, and feel you’re not on your own.
The day will be packed with workshops to inspire and resource you. It will be an event not to be missed. So bring your team and come prepared to make a difference in your locality.
