St Bernadette's Family Groups put on a Truly (Frightful) Delightful Evening for the Parish

Many thanks to Chris, Denise and Lee from St Bernadette's Parish, Scunthorpe, for the following report and pictures of their Family Groups' 'delightful, frightful' parish party in October.

'St. Bernadette's family groups in Scunthorpe have celebrated their most successful event to date - a 'delightful, frightful evening'. Willing hands themed the parish centre with spooky figures, creepy cobwebs and dangling spiders in preparation for an evening of 'frights and delights'.  Chris, our Family Group coordinator, compered a fun evening of games and activities, which were thoroughly enjoyed by our parish family and friends.

Pre-carved pumpkins were lit with tea lights and background 'horror' music was played to create the ambience for the evening, which included apple bobbing,  pin a wart on a monster,  face painting, find the 'critters in jelly', creating pasta skeletons and spooky word searches, whilst enjoying 'mummies' fingers' in rolls, cups of 'poison' and delicious 'monster' buns. 

The highlights of the evening were team games which included 'glow in the dark' skeleton building relays, 'dress a mummy' and 'build a scarecrow' competitions, which were hilarious and enjoyed by both the participants and the audience.  

The evening was brought to a close after the children paraded in their fancy dress outfits and prizes were awarded to the best entrants in the fancy dress and pumpkin lantern competitions.'
