Holiday Club

Thursday, April 12th, 2012 | Tags: ,

The halls at St. Andrew’s Church were packed to capacity in the first week of the Easter school holidays, with the annual holiday club seeing almost ninety children flocking to take part in the ever-popular mix of fun and games and simple Christian story telling.

In fact quite a few children were disappointed on the Monday morning to find the ‘full up’ signs already up meaning that that club was at capacity!

This year’s club was entitled ‘On Your Marks’ and - for this Olympic year - was appropriately themed around sporting games and challenges. Each day consisted of a lively mix of madcap games, crafts, story-telling, snack times and group opportunities for new friends to be made and for children to get to know their volunteer leaders.

Mr. Fair, minister at St. Andrew’s and club leader, commented that, ‘The children were wonderfully-well behaved throughout the whole week and from what I could see were having lots of great fun! St. Andrew’s always has children at the top of its priority list and during these club weeks we’re able to make that abundantly clear. We’re not into indoctrination but we do believe that every child should have opportunity to engage with the Christian story and if we can offer that and do it in a fun way, so much the better!’
