The afternoons saw everyone busy again either on a trip (climbing and abseiling at HOAC, rafting, bowling, skating or visiting Quasar or the Tropical Rain Forest), playing sport or working on a chosen activity. The choice, as always, was huge! Twenty–one different activities, each led by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable helper.
The Finale on Friday included a magnificent exhibition of work, photos and ideas. The singing was superb - especially by Ellie who sang a solo prayer. Thank you to everyone.
This was my last year as co-ordinator. I have loved every minute of it. But it’s time to hand over to a more youthful team to lead this wonderful children’s ministry to the next stage. Gayle Metcalfe, Sarah Kershaw and Terry Blackman have taken on this role, so I am sure you will give them your support and love as they begin to plan for next year, which runs from Monday 26th – Friday 30th July. God bless Holiday Club 2010!
