YOUNGSTERS from around St Denys in Southampton proved their artistic talents when they joined together for three days of summer fun at St Denys Church.

More than 35 kids aged between five and 11 were at the Whitmore Road church from Wednesday to Friday where a range of activities including cake-making, crafts and quizzes coupled with religious instruction were on offer.

And at the end of the fun the youngsters showed off their art-work to the parishioners before their Sunday service.

Church co-ordinator Samantha Moores said: "We were thrilled with the numbers who attended."

She said it was now hoped that the youngsters, many attending church for the first time, would continue coming to Sunday school.
