Let There Be Light, a children’s event celebrating God’s creation, organised by Revd Andy Larkin, took place today in the Memorial Hall. Thirty eight children attended and enjoyed activities including a shadow theatre, an ultra-violet light filled maze, decorating gingerbread people, producing a full size decorated image of themselves and a huge joint piece of art celebrating the creation story from the Bible.
The parents enjoyed the excellent cafe provided by Catering 4 Parwich. The only problem was how to get the huge painting into the church, when it was finished! As the children left, they were each given a light stick. To see all the photo’s check out the Peak Five facebook page. A video will be posted soon.
“Thank you all who worked so hard with the planning, organisation and delivery. Especially the parents who unexpectedly found themselves being helpers to cope with the number of children (you know who you are!). Thanks also to all of you who came and supported the event and helped to make it such a great morning. Revd Andy Larkin.”

Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson give mesmerising performances in this visually stunning and epic romantic drama, which tells the powerfully emotional story of two people who pursue their love against all odds, rules and conventions, set in the alluring and enigmatic world of a travelling circus, with wonderful performances from an elephant.

THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
This great, classic film starred Errol Flynn as the swash-buckling and daring hero, with Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian, and with Basil Rathbone. It won 3 Oscars including Best Film score for the marvellous music by Erich Korngold. With a budget of $2 million, it was the most expensive film made to date, and one of the first to use the Technicolor process.
Now newly re-mastered from the original print, the superb costumes and sets look stunning; not a film to be missed!
