First steps to faith

News Release: 13 December 2011

Dorothy Needham is an evangelist in the Bolton and Salford area where she spends time working in four local primary schools and with families.

As part of her work she participates in weekly school assemblies, a lunchtime club and helps to organise school services for the major Christian festivals, including Christmas, Easter and Harvest.

Dorothy said: “It is such a joy to work with children and to share in the whole of school life. Developing creative ways for pupils to think about their faith is always exciting and challenging at the same time.”

Each month, Dorothy also runs TRIPLE SSS – a fun-filled gathering for families which takes place on a Sunday afternoon.

She said: “TRIPLE SSS has become a real family community where people can learn more about Jesus. The children help me to plan the service by writing prayers and poems, leading worship, choosing the music, and taking part in dramas and readings.

“Recently a mother and daughter joined us who were new to the area. The lady had just gone through a divorce and said she had been in a ‘bad place’. She said belonging to TRIPLE SSS had encouraged her and her daughter to join a church again near their home.”
