Abbey Kids is back this Sunday at 9.30am! Join us as we discover the story of St Peter – a disciple who made mistakes, found forgiveness, and was transformed by Jesus.

This week, we'll explore Peter's story through the beautiful Japanese art of **Kintsugi** – repairing broken pottery with gold, making it even more beautiful than before. It's a powerful reminder that God can bring hope, healing and new life through our brokenness.

Join us for singing, games, a video and a fun Kintsugi-inspired craft. We'd also love to welcome any teenage helpers!

We can't wait to see you there. 💛 by @bathabbey
