Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
this week we Think About…
Jesus is our friend
Volunteer at The Noise
SHOWING GOD’S LOVE IN PRACTICAL WAYS
The Noise weekend is an annual occasion when churches across the city unity to reach out to the communities around them with a shared vision of SHOWING GOD’S LOVE IN PRACTICAL WAYS.
Each year, volunteers from different churches and communities join together to host a weekend of events and practical projects, which make a difference in neighbourhoods across the city.
Mindful of the uncertainty of the next few months, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are working towards hosting The Noise around the May Day Bank Holiday weekend (1st - 3rd May).
Across the weekend, volunteers from different churches will be:
Hosting free, small community events such as pop-up takeaways and treasure hunts
Delivering cream teas to senior citizens at home
Tackling practical projects to transform gardens, public areas and community spaces for those who need a helping hand.
We are passionate about Bristol and want to equip the church to continue blessing communities across the city and the people who live there, but we need your help to do it!
So, join in this opportunity to show God’s love, together, and be part of building Bristol as a city of hope.

Painting or Junk model of Jerusalem
So many important things happened in Jerusalem during Holy Week. If you want you could copy this picture or you could use this to help you build a model of Jerusalem. You could use Lego, or other bricks; or you could do a junk model of it using cardboard packaging and tubes. You can read chapters 14 and 15 of Mark's gospel and put toy people in to tell the story together of Holy week.
Hot Cross Buns
Here’s an easy recipe for hot cross buns, why not make some over the Easter Holidays!
Scripture Union have created a brilliant Easter Trail where you scan the QR code which takes you to a video about the Easter Story. You could do it in your garden with friends or why not put it up around your local area.
You can download the QR codes here:
We have some great activities this week, an edible Easter Garden and a Stained Glass cross to decorate your windows
Resurrection + Restoration Series
How can our lives, church and world be restored by the love and power of Jesus?
Following on from Easter, our series Resurrection + Restoration will help us grasp what Jesus’ resurrection means and the hope we carry in our everyday lives.
Rather than wave quickly goodbye to Easter, we’re taking some time to look at Bible passages from the Gospels after Jesus was resurrected. We’ll be looking at scriptures which address personal restoration, the great commission, and how we can bring hope into the world. Each week, we’ll be trying to earth these stories in our own lives and call as a Church today.
Remember you can book in advance to attend church in person. Capacity will be limited and COVID safe precautions will be taken. Simply book online here:
Here’s what our preaching topics during this series are:

Bible School with Jasper Knecht
At Woodlands Bible School this March, we welcomed theologian Jasper Knecht from WTC who spoke on “Biblical Authority and Inspiration”. In this talk, Jasper talks about inspiration, scriptural authority, and why we can trust the words of Scripture.
He’ll be unpacking questions like: Which Bible translation should we use? What is the difference between The Passion Translation, The Message, or The Amplified Version, and the more traditional translations like the NRSV, NIV, RSV, and others?
