In many ways our world seems so broken doesn’t it?
We try to fix it in loads of different ways, but our track record isn’t good!
Well if it was an ipod, we’d take it back to Apple, so why don’t we go back to the maker of the world to help fix it?
In our holiday club this year we’ll be thinking why the world is so broken and messed up and why & how God is, one day, going to fix it for good.
Each day there will be Fix it! games, quizzes, competitions, crafts and they’ll be a special outing on the Thursday afternoon (details to follow at the start of the week). The week will end with a special service on Sunday morning 10-11am for all-ages followed by a BBQ lunch.
New for 2012—On the last day (Friday), after meeting the leaders (10-10:15am), there will be an opportunity for everyone to join a special ‘all in’ 45 minutes, whether you’re a mum, dad, brother, sister, gran, granddad or nanny, it would be great to see you then (and for a well-earned coffee after!)
Last year, for the first time we ran a café each morning for those with pre-schoolers; it worked well and so we’re repeating it this year; if you have pre-schoolers then it will be a great place to be post drop off. It will have toys and activities for your under 5s and good coffee for you; so after handing over your 5-11s stop by for a coffee and a chat.
The week will be led by Mark Tomlinson from Cheadle. He is an experienced children’s worker and has led the St. John’s holiday club for many years. He takes assemblies in local schools and has lots of experience in leading clubs like this. Any queries please speak to Gareth Crispin (Youth, Children & Families Minister) on 521086.
Please note there is no cost for the week, but you will need to provide a packed lunch for your child to have each day.
