The Table is set! Itās so very nearly Christmas! And itās been full of surprises. Ed fixed an oven, Jam fixed a vacuum cleaner but the really big surprise is that the good news about Jesus was announced to scruffy shepherds by scary angels. Fun facts about what animals eat, and why Ed and Jam need to hibernate in January. Plus a sketch about a Shepherd race and music from Michael J Tinker, funky angels from his festive album, The King Has Arrived. Oh, and check the oven!

Full of careful wisdom from Rev Dr Israel and great help from Amy answering the questions that make you squirm. We loved this mic drop moment from Israel:
"It's not political correctness. It's kingdom correctness."
We're walking parents through the differences, the similarities and the sad: church in a cinema, "that's not fair" and kids being mean.

Weāre very excited to be back! And very excited ā by football, sausages and landrovers. We are so excited we could jump up and down (unlike elephants which canāt). Jam has the sweetest fun fact of all time. And how can you tell a Koala bear has stolen Edās mumās pudding? More importantly, how can we listen to God and take control? We look at 1 Corinthians 6:12.

Let's learn how to help children when their emotions are swamping them.
We cover bean bags on your head, screen time to cope with the thrill of a baptism and Amy S goes woman-splaining to help Ed.
We learn that very often it's the normal stuff that helps our children: Hugs, comfort blankets and hand cream.
We also find out that while the principles stay the same, we may need to make adjustments for those who have experienced childhood trauma. Our churches can be places for their flourishing, because Christ and his people will always be good news.
