Breakout! for children aged 5-10
July Update...
After 4 months+ of lock-down provision we are going to have a break from activities, as we would normally do as the schools "break up for the summer" But, please do make use of the catalogue of resources on this page - including the fantastic sessions in the "Families on Faith Adventures" below, the "Urban Saints: Kid's Klub by Post" range and all the resources from the past four months of Breakout! just in case you're bored! As well as checking out the church Facebook www.facebook.com/westkirbyurc/
We don't know what the new school year will look like or mean for the children's programme yet, and we probably won't know until we get there...so we'll keep you informed! But until then we hope you have the best summer you can and please stay safe.

Families on Faith Adventures
We'd love to see photos of your Family Faith Adventures this summer

National United Reformed Church has produced a great children's and families resource! We've had them available for a while but would REALLY recommend them for family fun this summer.
The national Children's and Youth Work team have worked together to produce Families on Faith Adventures @ Home , drawing on the materials from Pilots and Friends on Faith Adventures (FOFA) as a starting point. These materials are a 'pick and mix' selection of activities and prayers and challenges based around a different Bible reading each week. No matter what your family make-up, you will find something useful to you among the suggestions here. |
You can do these whenever you like, you don't have to wait for Sundays. But if you'd like a bit of structure, here's a suggestion...
Adventures for the week beginning Sunday 26 July...

Urban Saints : "Kids Club by Post" Activities
Urban Saints are producing some wonderful children's resources from their Energize course.
Each session contains a story, colouring picture, activities (such as a word-search/puzzles), discussion questions, challenge, crafts, recipes/food activity, creative prayer, games, and music activity.
It really is an EXCELLENT resource from Urban Saints, so check them out below!

Sunday Live Stream Service Resources
If you have a printer you could print off the PDFs ready for the Sunday live streamed service.
If you don't have a printer you can show them to your children and ask them to create their own pictures
We'd love for them to do the activities DURING each live service, and then parents/guardians could take pictures of what the children been doing to share on social media if they're happy to.
PLUS sometimes the children (with parent help!) will be invited to do one more activity during the service which they might like to take part in....................these will be revealed during the service they apply to!

Easter Sunday Service

DON'T FORGET - you need to play the part of God and remove 'Jesus' from the tomb, but leave the 'grave clothes' behind. This is the Easter Day Story - ideally it should be told fairly early on Easter Day....

Sunday 17th May 2020
This week in the Morning Service Stream we'll be hearing about "connecting with others" and so with lock-down and so many people still having to social distance it would a good time to maybe write a letter and include some pictures and info about yourself to maybe send to a neighbour or one of the elderly residents in a local nursing/residential home.
If you send any photos of letters and pictures you do to West Kirby URC (either via our Facebook page or e-mail them to Dan) and we can get them passed onto Riversdale Residential Home in West Kirby, where the residents love to receive pictures and letters!
