The children will be split into four teams (Squids, Seahorses, Stingrays and Sharks) for a variety of activities, games and craft that are themed on the story of Jonah. Throughout the day we will be hearing the story of this Old Testament character and learning about the depth and breadth of God’s love.

The club is being run by various members of the church, all of whom have DBS checks. They will be supported by a few of the young people from the church. If you would like to see a copy of our Safeguarding Policy it can be downloaded from our website.

Doors will open at 9.50am for a 10am start. Having completed the online registration form in advance this should be a relatively quick process. If you have not done so already please make us aware of any allergies your child has or medication that they need to take.

Please feel free to park in the church car park when you drop off your children. However please be mindful of children when driving in the car park as it will likely be very busy during drop off and pick up for the club.

What to wear

If possible it would be great for children to come clothed in the colour of their team. Once we have allocated children into the different teams, we will let you know the colour. This will happen the week of this event.

Food

Please ensure your child comes with a packed lunch that has the child's name on it.

We will be providing drinks and a snack for the children during a morning break, there is no charge for this.

If your child has particular allergies or intolerances we recommend you also provide a snack for this break.

We also kindly ask that no food containing nuts is included in lunch boxes. We are a nut free zone and we have a couple children with a nut allergy attending so it is really important that this is adhered to.

If you need support providing lunch for your child help is available - please send us a message and we'll see how we can help.

We will be running a café for parents and carers at the start and end of the day. Our church lounge (the room to the left as you enter) will be well stocked with homemade cakes and hot drinks between 10-11.30am and 3-4pm. Please feel free to stay and join Tracey, Val, John and Jenny who will be running our café at these times. There will be some pre-school toys out for any siblings who are too young to come to the club.

The club finishes at 4pm. However you would be welcome to join us from 3.30pm as we conclude the day with a final quiz and announce the winning team.

Please return as a family and join us for our Morning Service at 10.30am on Sunday 18th February. This will be an All-Age Holiday Bible Club Service when we will be sharing what the children did at club this year, singing some of the theme songs and hearing what Jesus had to say about Jonah in Matthew’s Gospel.
