The children wrote pledges on leaf shapes on something they can do to help our environment and also enjoyed creating some scratch art pictures of animals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St Leodegar&#8217;s Church Revd Rodger Pullen took the service, Naomi played music and also did the readings &#8211; one from Romans with 16 do\u2019s in the first few verses!
