Lego Bible creations taking over Devon church

Jason Ham said thousands of Lego bricks would be available to use

Lego and Bible stories are set to combine for a family event being held at an Exeter church.

Rediscover Church has organised a 'Lego Bible Builders' session on Saturday for people to construct their own versions of stories from the Bible using the toy building bricks.

Jason Ham, who has helped organise the event, said thousands of bricks would be provided at the church on Water Lane during the free event.

He added the aim of the event - running from 10:00 to 12:00 BST - would be to get children and their families having fun at church and to promote creative ideas using Bible stories.

'Imagination and creativity'

Mr Ham said he hoped the Lego building would bring the Bible to life in a fun and engaging way.

He said the church had been "staggered" by the interest from families who wanted to attend the event.

"I think people just love Lego - if you go in a kids' bedroom they'll show you their creations," Mr Ham added.

"It also brings imagination and creativity, even if your creation is not a Picasso work."
