play Day

‘Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me….’                     (Matthew 18: 5)

THE NEXT PLAY DAY AT ELMWOOD will be in the summer holidays on Tuesday August 31st from 10 am. The other dates planned for this year are Tuesday October 26th and Tuesday December 21st

The Elmwood Play Day happens four days a year during school holidays and is an opportunity for children aged between 5 and 11 to enjoy a day of fun through a variety of activities.

They are usually in the holidays at Easter, Summer, Autumn half term and Christmas.

Please contact Church for more details.

The value of children to the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ is made clear in the gospels and so we share a vision that children are the church of today.

“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”            (Matthew 18: 3-4)

A child is not a church of the future, but a church of today and we want to encourage them to recognise their role in the mission and ministry of our Lord. Our work with children and young people is therefore crucial to our mission and vision.

Each Sunday morning we have a Junior Church led by a group of committed leaders who take responsibility for different age groups. Come and join us on a Sunday morning or check out the details here >>>>>>>>>> (Junior Church)

We also support the pre-school group run by the Salvation Army and the and feel this is an important contribution to the community and our Christian witness through the building >>>>>>>>>>>(Salvation Army)

The inter-action between children across the boundaries of faith and culture is important for their learning and growing so we run the JC Kidzz Club on alternate Thursday with different activities in which we try to encourage the creative gifts all children have >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(JC Kidzz Club)

Our work with the Scout group has been reduced since they moved from the Elmwood site but we still retain a relationship with them and more details can be obtained >>>>>>>>>>>>> (Scouts)
