Thursday Club
Thursday Club is a high energy, Bible-based club for children in school
years 3-6 and runs, during term-time only, from 5.30pm to 7.00pm.
We use pantomime sketches, puppets and Object Lessons to creatively
explain the good news about who Jesus is and what he has done for us. At
the end of every term we hold a Communion Service with the children so
that they always remember that Thursday Club is about Jesus.
The children are currently organised into three boys' and three girls'
groups, with at least one adult leader and three junior leaders in each
group. We encourage every child to be as involved as possible in the
various activities each week: to join in the praise times and the games
enthusiastically, to sit quietly during the teaching time, and answer
questions relating to the teaching to win points for their team.
There is a Group Time when the children have 5 to 10 minutes talking about
the teaching which they have just heard. This is also an opportunity for
the children to build friendships within the group and also to pray for
the things which concern them or to thank God for the things which mean
a lot to them. We want to encourage every child to pray more often
and to expect God to answer.
