As the weather was hot, Rocks and Topz met outside and started off with some water fun. Our story was about John the Baptist and him baptising Jesus. We talked about deserts and the children came up with stories they could recall from the Bible that have water in them in some way. We then…
This week we started with two songs – Who’s The King of the Jungle? and King of Me – and played follow the leader around the playground. Both were clues to the story, where we read about the wise men who came to visit Jesus. Unlike the shepherds, these men were rich and important, yet they…

Rocks and Topz heard the next part of Jesus’ birth story – God announced the good news by putting a new star in the sky (a hint about next week’s story!) and sent a heavenly choir to announce the message! But even though Jesus was King, the royal messengers weren’t sent to the richest or…
This week in Rocks and Topz we started the New Testament. It felt a little odd to read the story we usually focus on at Christmas, but the birth of Jesus is always an exciting event! We reminded ourselves of some of the titles Jesus was given hundreds of years before he was born, including…
This week we reached the end of the Old Testament! We learned how God brought back the people from slavery (again), and how the people started to feel really sad when the law was read to them and they realised how badly they’d messed things up. Ezra reminded them of how much God loved them,…
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…
