August 5th – August 8th Holiday Club
Registration is open!! Forms available from church, the office or on the website.
🙏 Pray for Holiday Club – and Get Involved!
Preparations for Holiday Club 2025 are full steam ahead – and we’d love the whole church family to be part of it.
At the heart of all we do is prayer. Our Holiday Club Prayer Diary is now available – a simple trifold sheet with daily prayer points and themes to help guide your prayers throughout the week of Holiday Club.
Please pick one up from the back of church and stand with us in prayer for the children, families, leaders, and all that God is doing.
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." — Matthew 18:20
We are also asking you to save a few key dates:
- Monday 4th August (9am-1:30pm) - Help set up
- Sunday 10th August (After Church) - Help take it all down
Even a short time helping makes a real difference and is always appreciated!
If you feel able to lend a hand — even for just one hour— or would like to know more, please speak to:
Lewis Jones, Lesley Handy, Peter Markham, or Mags Waters or email holidayclub@allsaintsdenmead.org.uk
