On Your Marks … Get … Set … Go! 50 children, aged 5 to 11, had the opportunity to hear from Olympic and Paralympic athletes (through DVD interviews) and take part in the 'Global Games' at the Holiday Club at St John's Seven Kings this week. As they did they also discovered what it was like for the disciples to follow Jesus and how they can be on his team today.
Based on Scripture Union’s On Your Marks holiday club material, the Holiday Club was full of creative teaching, games, craft, songs, prayers and Bible reading as the children learnt about God’s great plan for salvation. Children competed in basketball, long jump, skipping and quoits competitions and made medals, trophies and laurel wreaths, among many other craft activities. The holiday club ran from Tuesday 24th – Thursday 26th July. All those involved really enjoyed this year’s holiday club. It was great fun, we all learnt a lot and it was fantastic that lots of children come along.
On the final day an Olympic torch was brought along for the children to see and hold. The above photo shows the children with Holiday Club helper, Margaret Amann, holding the Olympic torch.
