Carnival
During June our whole community comes together to support Whaley Bridge Carnival,
getting ready for the carnival on last Saturday in June,
Seeing people sharing ideas, helping, supporting one another, decorating shops, lamp posts
and floats, and having fun is great.
Churches Together in Whaley Bridge look after the refreshment tent, providing cakes and
games for the children. This is what we do well all the churches working together.
The float is Churches Together as well, Jonathan Smith provides us with a pickup. Children
from each church are involved in making decorations for it with a little help from adults, and
all come along on the Saturday morning to put it together on the float.
Last year we chose “Gods Beauty Surrounds us,” this year it’s something to follow on from
that. Look out for us, and let us know what you think. If you ever feel you would like to get
involved, or have children who would like to come on the float, do come along and chat with
us.
