Looking ahead to the summer…
Sunday 21 June is Father’s Day . . . maybe you’d like to do something special to honour dads and all the men in our lives who father us and nurture our faith? You can get the kids involved asking them questions about their dad. I have a sheet of questions you could ask to make a PowerPoint or a video called ‘Oh Dad!’. Just email julie@downanddromore.org.
C of I Children’s ministry Network for Ireland have produced a ‘Summer of Kindness’ ideas newsletter, full of great things to do and challenge kids and families with over the summer months. Coming soon!
The online 5 day Holiday Bible Club 2020 will be ready for the end of June. FORKY’S GREAT ESCAPE . . . from the ordinary to the extraordinary. It will include all the elements of a HBC with talks, a quiz, craft activities, prayer activities, etc all in simple videos to download. You can then make it your own by using the elements you require and slotting them into your own online HBC or we can make up each day for you. For more info ask Julie.
