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. […]

Nativity Club: A Long Time Coming
Christmas is coming and Nativity Club has started! The children began by making some fabulous craft angels. You can see some of them below including a few double sided. We all had fun with water, Lego, dice and rescuing some drowning people. Some children also were brave enough to put their hands into bags of […]
The Healing of the Ten Lepers
Today’s story involved 10 lepers and we started off with a ‘hopping on one leg and not touching one another’ game to get a glimpse of the difficulty of life for those with this disease. We looked at some pictures and talked about how those with leprosy were treated and how in Jesus’ time they […]
Bartimaeus
This week, Rocks and Topz looked at the story of Bartimaeus. Even though he was just one person in a huge crowd, Jesus saw him and helped him. They talked about how Jesus sees and knows all of us, too! They used paper plates to make happy/sad faces to show how Bartimaeus must have felt […]
Walking on the Water
After a fun game of swimming to the islands we heard the story of Jesus spending time alone with God and then miraculously walking on the water to his disciples. They were on the lake, at first terrified to see a figure coming towards them! Jesus called out, ‘take courage! It is me. Don’t be […]

Loaves and fishes
We heard the story of another of the miracles Jesus performed. Despite his sorrow over the death of his cousin, John the Baptist, he still had compassion for the people following him. He healed their sick and later in the day when it was time to eat he took 2 small fish and 5 loaves […]
Jesus Heals!
This week in Rocks and Topz the children had two stories for the price of one! They heard about how Jairus went to Jesus because his daughter was ill. On the way to help, Jesus healed a woman who’d been ill for 12 years. By the time he got to Jairus’s house, the little girl […]
The Man with the Wibbly Wobbly Legs
This week in Rocks & Topz we started off by thinking about what makes a good friend. We drew round one of the children, then thought about stone of the things we can do to be a good friend to others. We then heard a story about four people who were very good friends to […]
Water into Wine
Yesterday after a wine race game (no wine involved!), we chatted about weddings and the children gave ideas on what is needed and weddings they had been to. We then heard the story of Jesus performing his first miracle at a wedding. Turning water into wine! The children made some amazing pictures with a secret […]
