GNR8
GNR8 is for children aged 5-11 years (Year 1 to Year 6). It is fun, includes singing, stories, games, making things and making friends. It’s about learning about Jesus, making friends with Jesus and becoming more like Jesus. GNR8 aims to be relevant and fun for all the children. We feel it is important that they see Jesus and church as being relevant to their everyday life.
GNR8 is run by a team of dedicated children’s workers who all love God and share the same vision. The leaders go through CRB clearance.
Parents: please have your child/children downstairs by 9:55am each Sunday! We now have 2 distinct sessions:
GEN-TEN (10am) – For teaching, prayer & worship.
GEN-ELEVEN (11:30am approx) – Drink & fruit, craft/extension activity, teaching recap from GEN-TEN & learning memory verse.
(Note: no GEN-ELEVEN during Family Service on the first Sunday of every month.)
If your child/children miss GEN-TEN they will have missed the teaching for the week.
Here are GNR8 themes for February, including special requests for GEN-ELEVEN ON 19 & 26 Feb. Please use these as a subject for your family times.
