Newsletter for All Saints Sunday Club and Upper Room Group.

 Hello to Parents, Leaders and Helpers…   

Welcome to the newsletter bringing you up to date with Sunday Club and Upper Room.

Upper Room and Sunday Club

Sunday Club now begins at 10.30am, with the children returning into church to join the Parish Family in the Morning Service during the Offertory Hymn.The new arrangements seem to be operating without too many problems.    Timing can be tight so it is really helpful if the Sunday Club children can be brought or directed to the John Wood Room before the service begins.      

We had a few hiccups with Sunday Club not realizing it’s time to return to the service and merrily carrying on!   

It is so nice to see the children and their families sitting towards the front as well – hope this makes it easier for you to see what is going on.

Although numbers of the younger age group are fairly low at present, Upper Room numbers (aged 8 +) are healthy.  Upper Room Group members continue to leave the service for their lively discussions .They return to the service at the Peace, along with the younger children.   If you have a child aged 8+ and they have not yet joined the group, do feel free to let them go along for a taster session.   Sunday Club continues to specifically cater for the youngest members of our congregation.

You may have noticed that several members of the Upper Room Group are also in the choir and they are now singing every week.

Roots Resources

The resources available via Roots on the web and its companion magazine are proving very useful for those of us planning sessions.  A copy of the magazine can be found in the John Wood Room cupboard. 

Baggies

Green bags or “baggies” with colouring materials are available for children when they are in Church.    These can be found under the table (where the All Saints magazines are kept). Please feel free to use these but do let us know if the materials inside need replacing.  If you have any spare colouring books or unwanted small toys that could go into the baggies, please get in touch.

Helpers and Leaders needed

Sunday Club is rather short of helpers at present and we’d love to hear from anyone who might be interested in being added to the rota.  The duties are not arduous – usually it involves helping with craft activities, making the juice etc.  In practice you might find yourself down to help 1 or 2 Sundays per term.  We’d also be very happy to hear from people who might take on a leadership duty.  As with the helpers – leaders are normally scheduled in for 1 or 2 sessions per term and the Roots resources are available to assist in planning activities.  If you are interested in helping or leading, please get in touch with one of us and we’ll let you know what’s involved.  You don’t have to be a parent of a Sunday Club or Upper Room child by the way – anyone who feels they can help will be welcome.
