Colebrooke and Cooneen members sponsored walk through Colebrooke Estate
Colebrooke and Cooneen members sponsored walk through Colebrooke Estate raising £783.20.
17 Feb 2020
Colebrooke and Cooneen members collected sponsorship for a walk through Colebrooke Estate. On a dry, crisp spring morning eighteen adults and eighteen children from the community set out for their walk through the beautiful grounds of the estate. The children were given a Scavenger Hunt to complete, where they used their senses to see, hear, smell and touch the beauty of God’s creation.
Everyone enjoyed sharing and chatting on the leisurely walk over ‘Kidd’s’ Bridge’ and along the ‘oak avenue.’ The signs of spring were evident – horse chestnut buds sprouting into leaf, catkins, bluebells, primroses and daffodils as well as bird song and the flowing Colebrooke River. Afterwards at the church hall, everyone enjoyed the welcome refreshments provided by Mothers’ Union members. The children drew around their feet to record their support for the MU MIM sponsored walk. £783.20 was raised.
