"Champions"

Our club this year was entitled “Champions!” and had a theme based on the Olympics. We had a fun-filled week with over 50 children, 14 teenagers and 14 leaders all taking part. It was a huge success and our very dedicated team of leaders and helpers thoroughly enjoyed it.

Each night we had an opening where we sang the Theme song and a different memory verse song. I would like to share our memory verses with you:

· “Let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus in whom our faith depends” Hebrews 12:1-2
· “Keep yourself in training for a godly life!” 1 Timothy 4:7
· “Encourage one another and help one another!” 1 Thess. 5:11
· “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
· I’m gonna run straight towards the goal in order to win the prize, the prize that the Lord will give me on that day! Based on Philippians 3:14 and 2 Timothy 4:8

We enjoyed games, crafts, various worksheets, refreshments and rounded the evening off with our Bible reading and narration.
On Friday we had a Family Fun Night with over 100 in attendance. Some of the children said their memory verses and sang our theme song. We then had a Beetle Drive and finished with some food.
This is always a highlight for me and I know I speak for the team. It is wonderful to see so many children coming along and taking part. Our JAM group and some of their friends are a huge help to us and we love to see their enthusiasm every year.

Bronwen and I would like to thank all the parents who brought their children along - you really encourage us.
A BIG THANK YOU to all the team - you always work so hard every year.
Thanks to all our young helpers - keep up the good work!
Thanks to everyone who donated gifts of money, refreshments and equipment and all who gave of their time.
