Holiday Club News
Our two Holiday Clubs, one at the Steeple in the first week of the school holidays and one at Ferryden in the second week are now over. Both have been very successful and much appreciated. We are indebted to the two talented and dedicated teams for organising and running them. The children have loved them, the parents are grateful for them and the team members are tired, happy and content after them. Well done to all!
Summer Mission Week at the Steeple
When our Secret Agents & Dinky Detectives were sent by the Pharisees to spy on Jesus, they had no idea what fun that would turn out to be. It started with a paralysed man (ok, a teddy!) lowered from the roof to be healed, and ended with great celebrations when Jesus rose from the dead.
In between, they also managed to serve about 200 pancakes, hold a family Beetle Drive & BBQ, learn new dance moves, action songs, games and stories of Jesus. A fantastic week was had by all – both children and helpers.
A huge thanks to everyone who made it possible, and please keep the prayers going for any little seeds planted throughout the week.
Pirate Kidz' Holiday Club at Ferryden.
The Glaikit Gull, under the command of the treasure obsessed Captain Codswallop, set sail to Wisdom Island in search of ‘The Greatest Treasure’. Journeying round Wisdom Island, with the able assistance of ‘Meg the Map’ and the wisest member of the Crew, 'Jean the Ancient Mariner’, several Biblical Characters pointed us towards our goal - Mary mother of Jesus, Andrew, Peter, Zacchaeus and Mary Magdalene who was finally able to convince Captain Codswallop that gold and jewels don’t matter and that Jesus is ‘The Greatest Treasure’.
This year we had lots of fun and games, with exciting activities such as Pirate Skills and Panning for Gold, as well as crafts, making windchimes, treasure chests and treasure maps. Midweek we held a brilliant games night and finished with our annual celebration service and sausage sizzle on Sunday.
We are thanking and praising God that the team for our recently formed Trinity Church is complete.
