Armagh Baptist Church


Holiday Bible Club

 

THIS YEAR'S THEME

Some helpers from previous years at the HBC in Armagh

 

Holiday Bible Club - 2008

25th – 29th  August

This year's club was called 'Bible SuperHeros' and looked at real life SuperHeros recorded in the Bible and what lessons we could learn about God and our everyday lives.

The club ran from Monday 25th to Friday 29th August but at a different time from previous years.

The club ran from 6:15pm to 8:30pm and featured the usual mix of music, Bible lessons, quizzes, memory verses, worksheets and games. All of which was free of charge.

Peter Lawther, who works with the Amazing Journey Bible Exhibition and who was familiar to many children in Armagh, spoke each evening. There was also be a parents' evening and BBQ on the Friday evening.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Each year Armagh Baptist Church seeks to reach out the children of the area around the church with a Holiday Bible Club.


Wow – Holiday Bible Club is a real challenge! It requires manpower, manpower and more manpower, but as a Church we are extremely thankful to all who support in the execution of this mammoth event.


Over the years numbers attending have grown and so, in a bid to the Club to operate in a controlled and safe environment, we have had to:

• Enforce a strict age limit
• Eliminate “craft” exercises
• Provide only a snack rather than lunch
• Shorten the running time

In 2007 these changes made a great difference and allowed helpers who had taken time off work to return in the afternoons. Almost 130 children attended regularly all week and even the weather fitted the theme of “NOAH.”

Peter Lawther (youth worker and “Amazing Journey” co-odinator with Baptist Youth) held the children in rapt attention as he presented the lessons. All who attended appreciated the full programme.
