The group started by throwing some Lego building blocks on a chalked tower on the floor to try and get some great scores with 100 being the highest. They then looked at the story of The Tower of Babel and how the people relied on their own power and strength. God knew this would not […]
A New Beginning
The children started off with a puzzle piece hunt and managed to locate all the parts bar one and create a map of the world. We reminded ourselves that God created the perfect world but humans failed and brought sin and death into that perfect place. Time passed and humans just got worse and worse […]
A Terrible Lie
After an energetic game of snakes and ladders we continued with our Jesus Storybook Bible. Last week the children heard about the beautiful and perfect creation God made. Sadly this week we discover that Adam and Eve listened to a terrible lie and so that perfect creation was broken and sin entered the world bringing […]
Creation
Rocks & Topz are starting on a journey through the Bible, using Sally Lloyd-Jones’ The Jesus Storybook Bible. Each child receives their own copy of this Bible when they’ve attended Rocks & Topz for 10 weeks. This week they looked at the story of creation. They talked about how the world was empty, but God […]

Nativity Club: Visiting the Baby
This week, we had fun making gift boxes. Each one had a mini message and a little treat hidden inside. Hopefully, some of them will actually be given to a recipient rather than just gobbled by the children! We then spent the rest of the session practising for the nativity service. Rooted came to help […]
Nativity Club: Getting There
The children started by making a nativity scene from lolly sticks, then decorated some pretty star shaped tea light holders. You can see some below. We thought about some of the journeys that people made that first Christmas – the shepherds having a very little way to go, and the wise men taking more than […]

Nativity Club: Send an Angel
The children started by making some very shiny stars. It was a bit fiddly at times, but the kids all did a great job, and it was lovely to see them helping each other with some of the tricky bits! They played a game where the children were split into 3 groups around the room. […]
