KIDZ CLUB – SATURDAY 31 MARCH 2012

Youth Club and Youth Fellowship

There is lots going on for the young people at Craigmore. For those in post-primary education we have a weekly Youth Club and Youth Fellowship on Friday nights.

Youth Fellowship meets from 7.30-8.30pm in the Upper Room at Craigmore and it’s open to anyone who wants to find out more about God and how to live life with and for Him. There are games, talks, and activities, and the opportunity to worship and pray together. You don’t have to be a Christian to come along; in fact, it’s a great place to ask questions and explore what the Christian faith is all about.

Craigmore Youth Club (CYC) has been running for over 25 years and runs every Friday from 8.30-10.15pm in the church halls. CYC offers a great chance to see friends and make new ones, get to know the fab leadership team, and have a safe place to hang out at the end of the week. There is a Wii, XBox, pool tables, tabletennis tables, football/unihoc, games and a tuck shop.

Once every 4-6 weeks we hold Coffee Bar for those in Year 11 and above from 10.15-11.45pm. This offers a more chilled out venue with tea and toast and the chance to catch up with each other on the sofas upstairs in the hall.

Due to large numbers on Fridays we provide junior and senior youth club on alternate nights, with all-age nights roughly once a month. Anyone in Year 8-9 is welcome at junior YC, while senior YC is for Year 11 and above. The lucky Year 10s may choose which youth club night to attend. For more up-to-date information on when each age group meets please contact Sheena.

Several times a year we take a trip to the Antrim Forum for football, squash, badminton, swimming and bowling, along with a crucial visit to the chippie afterwards! We sometimes hold other special events, especially in the summer, including girls/lads nights, day trips, movie nights, and sponsored events for charity. A highlight in the CYC calendar is our annual Easter Camp held at Castlewellan Castle, where the mixture of water fights, worship, late night fun and beautiful surroundings make each year very memorable!

Sunday School

Sunday School is a place where children and teachers come to meet fora time of fun, laughter and learning. We meet every Sunday morning from 11.20am until 12 noon, depending on the length of the worship service. We meet in the church hall and upstairs.

It is a fantastic opportunity for children to learn about God, make new friends and have a time to talk about their week.

The children also take 2 services throughout the year, a summer service and a Christmas service, where they get to show the church all that they have learnt and show off their gifts and talents.

Sunday at 8

If you’re in Year 10 or older, then meet on Sunday nights at 8 for a time of FUN, FAITH AND FELLOWSHIP. Young people in this age group meet every Sunday from 8pm-9.30pm at Richard and Nuala’s home to explore and grow in their faith.

Moms and Toddlers

The Moms and Toddlers Group will start meeting again on  Thursday, 22 September 2011.
