The<br />

Show<br />

Holiday Club<br />

"Roll up, Roll up!" was the cry of<br />

Barker Keith to our circus themed<br />

holiday club. Roll up they did ! 107<br />

children in all came along to 'The<br />

Greatest Show' this February half term.<br />

What does it take to put on an event<br />

like this ? Well it takes 55 willing<br />

volunteers, about 600 beautifully<br />

decorated sponge cakes, 400 crafts,<br />

and months of preparation. Add to that<br />

a lot of prayer, some great Bible stories<br />

and complete reliance on God! You<br />

then have all the ingredients for one of<br />

the Greatest weeks!<br />

We had some of the greatest stories<br />

from the Bible; Creation, Samson,<br />

and Daniel and finishing with the<br />

Lord Jesus himself. The children<br />

listened intently, sang and danced<br />

enthusiastically and booed, cheered<br />

noisily in the drama.<br />

Our thanks to all of you who prayed<br />

daily for us, volunteered in any<br />

capacity, or donated cakes. We couldn't<br />

have done it without you! Keith Jewell<br />

gave really clear teaching and the<br />

children responded.<br />

We were thrilled that the Grand Finale<br />

on Sunday was well attended by most<br />

of the children and their families. An<br />

exhausting, and exhilarating week but<br />

totally worth it. Can't wait until next<br />

year!<br />
