KIDS-ZONE

Lilian Rowe leads the Kid Zone team which operates every Sunday morning during the school term. The children join in with the wider church for a time before adjourning to their own programme which runs for approximately 45 minutes – it includes a time of singing and teaching in age appropriate groups using the Scripture Union syllabus.

In conjunction with this Jason Hockley runs a bible programme for those aged between 10 and 14 years of age who prefer a more age tailored programme over the main service.

Love in Action (Jesus Cares) 16-30 October
Jesus is the source of all life – his love and compassion with those in pain show an aspect of Jesus great power. But not everyone confronted with the power and love of Jesus accepts his love –e.g. Zacchaeus who responded positively and the rich young ruler who chose not to. The importance for us all to respond to Jesus is paramount in this series.

God sets the Standard (God is Good) 6-20 November
The early chapters of Genesis show us the creator God who made a world that would demonstrate his power and glory. But it all went badly wrong when humans decided to go it alone. Cain and Abel had a choice but Cain chose badly. As things went from bad to worse the story of Noah shows us that however patient God may be there comes a time when he will deal with sin and selfishness. In saving Noah and his family, God showed his grace. This story, repeated throughout the Bible, culminates in the cross, where God acts in both judgment and salvation. Although God is gracious and forgiving, human sin always has consequences.

God’s Plan 27 November – 18 December
During this Advent season, we see the final preparations unfolding with the promise of the one who will prepare for the coming of the promised Messiah. Zechariah and Elizabeth’s son is unexpected and unlikely, as are many of God’s plans for us. From the beginning John is dedicated to fulfilling God’s purposes. The birth of Jesus is God’s promised king – God himself has come among us as one of us – no wonder the angels and shepherds rejoice. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises and the completion of his plan.
