YOUNGSTERS from a holiday club spent part of their summer break enjoying a safari adventure - in their local church.
Trinity Methodist Church, in Spennymoor, was transformed into a jungle last week with a painted backdrop of exotic plants and toy monkeys, tigers, lions, elephants and giraffes.
More than 50 children who took part in the three-day play scheme enjoyed jungle themed crafts, puppet shows, singing and dancing.
Church leaders said the summer holiday club was an important way to bring the community together throughout the week, so the church was seen as more than just a venue for Sunday worship.
