Ok - here we go again...this time we're gonna try a Saturday! Beginning Sat. 10th May in the No8 from 10.30-11.30am we will be combining kids from Rock Solid Crew and Boulder Gang (and anyone else who wants to come along) for an event called - Saturday Morning Madness! Basically - it does what it says on the tin!
So what's in store? ... Lots of games, activities, worship, prizes, gunge? and discovering more about our Bible heroes.
Not for those of a nervous disposition.........
Bring your ear plugs and a sense of humour
Consent forms going out very soon!
Saturday Morning MADNESS!!!
Stepping Stones
Stepping Stones for pre-school children aged 2-4 and their carers took place each Monday in the No8 Club from 2-3pm over a 6 week block. We used lots of arts and crafts, toys and games, stories and songs and enjoyed learning all about God our creator, how he created absolutely everything and how he loves and created us!
Each week between 14-18 little ones came along and for some of them - this was the first time someone had introduced them to God, and it was a real joy to share Gods love with them. The kids really seemed to enjoy singing and dancing and praising God, and making lots of amazing things.
This time, most of the parents used the hour they had to have a cuppa and a chat with other parents. An Evaluation form was given out to each family and really positive comments were received about the group - all keen for it to continue :-)
SO...........Stepping stones restarts Monday 28th April 2-3pm in the No8. During the next block we hope to use the fantastic natural resources that God has given us - so... prepare to get muddy and wet! Wellies recommended. YAY!!
DATES ARE:- 28th April, 12th May, 19th May, 2nd June, 9th June, 16th June.
Leaders: - Julie Thomson and Ste Rainford.
Volunteers :- Mary Mitchell and Angela Newton - thanks again ladies!!!XXX
Boulder Gang and Rock Solid Crew
Boulder Gang for P1-3 and Rock Solid Crew for P4-7 took place each Thursday afternoon over a block of 6 weeks. We had an amazing time sharing Gods amazing love with the kids through the story of Gideon. It was overwhelming to see approximately 38 unchurched kids come along week after week, so enthusiastic to experience more of God. Some of the art work they spent time on at home to bring in and share was truly amazing!!! So what did we do... well, loads of games (the messier the better), fantastic worship, competitions, relevant, real and exciting teaching, prizes, gunge and a heck of a lot of noise!!!
A 6 week block seemed to work really well - keeping the slots fresh and exciting - and not asking too much committment in terms of time etc. However - at the end of the block, there were loads of little sad faces asking when it's happening again!
Can't get the kids to church eh??? !!!!!!
Leaders :- Julie Thomson and Ste Rainford.
Volunteer help (couldn't have done it without them!!) Angela Newton, Mary Mitchell and Karen Copeland - cheers ladies!! XX
