Ministering to children & their families:
Holiday Clubs

Even smaller churches, which may not have the person-power to sustain regular children's work, can get involved in one-off opportunities created by holiday clubs and other one day events.

Dates in the Church calendar can be used for some events as a chance to demonstrate why certain days have a Christian significance.

Some churches find that a midweek club attracts large numbers of children, who for various reasons may not be able to come into Church on a Sunday. There are lots of resources available for this type of activity and doesn't even need to be as frequent as weekly to be effective.

The 2006 holiday club resource from Scripture union is called Pyramid Rock exploring the ever-popular story of Joseph.

Borrow it from our resource library to check it out.

Also a new resource available from the library is Streetlevel, another SU publication which aims to resource low-key, low tech, events which may happen mid-week, aimed at those who have no church background to help them catch a sight of Jesus.

Also available and popular for mid-week work are Jaffa books 1, 2 and 3. Australian in origin and well thought through and easy to use.
