WHAT IS HOLIDAY CLUB?!
Holiday Club is a three morning event for children in school years Reception - Year 5 (4-10 year olds). We spend time playing crazy games, meeting silly characters, singing fun songs, hearing from the Bible, and loads more… oh did we mention the gunge tank!?!
There are two main aims for the Holiday Club. The first is to enable the children, and their families, to know more about the good news of Jesus. The second is to create a fun and safe environment for them, a place they feel welcomed and and are excited to be at.
We hope and pray that with so many churches working together, this will be a significant part of seeing God’s Kingdom come in Cumbria as it is in heaven.
This page will updated regularly as we move closer towards the Holiday Club week. We’ve got a handy log of all the updates we’ve made at the bottom of this page, alternatively click here to see the list.
WE NEED TEAM!
There are a number of roles that need to be filled for the Holiday Club to take place. From small group leaders to musicians, craft organisers to coffee-making heroes, there's bound to be something you can help with. Though we won't be able to guarantee what role you will serve in, we'd love to hear about your giftings and the role/roles that you'd consider helping in.
We’re also excited to have a YOUTH TEAM helping run the activities. If you’re in school year 6 and up, and are keen to help, there are loads of things you can do, from tech support, to music, to drama. Have a look through the roles list below and see what you might like to get involved with. We’ll need parental permission for this, and the sign up form will be coming soon.
Once you’ve looked at the roles, scroll down to apply for team, or sign up for the youth team.
