Rocks and Topz started off with some fun Jonah and the whale games. We then heard the story and we talked about prophets and also how it’s sometimes really hard to do the right thing. We have the Holy Spirit to help us even when we are confused, angry or scared. God loves us whatever…
On the weekend of 6th-8th June we are having our church weekend. As a result, there will be no service at Holyrood on Sunday 8th June. Instead, we will be joining Kilmington Baptist Church for their 11am service.
We had a game of sleeping lions but Judah, Lydia and Beana were just too good! Grace who was helping us, read the story of Daniel and the lions den. We talked about how we know the ending but that Daniel didn’t and how he might have felt. Daniel did lots of things right unlike…
In Rocks and Topz this week, we spent a lot of time thinking about names! We talked about what each of our names mean (some of them seem to fit better than others…) then looked at a section from Isaiah, whose name means ‘God to the rescue!’ Isaiah lived about 700 years before Jesus was…
We heard about the story of the slave girl who wanted to make sure her master Naaman was healed from leprosy. She had a forgiving heart but Naaman’s was rather proud and hard. He eventually did what had been asked of him and his skin was healed on the outside but his heart was also…

Here’s the plan: Fri – chilli and evening session Sat – morning sessions (with kids’ groups), treasure hunt and other activities,…
Today, Rocks and Topz heard how David was a shepherd and loved to make music. He wrote many Psalms including Psalm 23 – featured in the Jesus Storybook Bible. It tells us of Jesus the Good Shepherd. The children made some tiny figures of themselves to add to a map. This is a reminder that…
They looked at the very well-known story of David and Goliath. Even though Goliath was big and scary, David knew that God was with him. He couldn’t defeat the giant by relying on his own strength or power, but only by relying on God. They decided that even though we’re unlikely to face an actual…
Rocks and Topz was teeming with life on Sunday as they enjoyed having lots of visitors in the group to celebrate Easter! They went looking for Jesus among the tombs, but didn’t find him as he’d come back to life (one of the attached photos shows what they found instead)! They made a fun Easter egg to…
The children did a great job in hunting down some puzzle pieces to make up a picture of Samuel anointing David. We also had a choosing game to see what images we would choose and gave the reasons why. We heard the story of God choosing David – despite him being the youngest, weakest and out with…
Rocks and Topz started off with a game of ‘Jericho drop’ to get limbered up and then heard the story of Joshua and the Israelites facing Jericho. The Israelistes followed what Joshua had told them and what he in turn had heard from God. Even if it sounded really weird! Walking around the walls in…
