One Way Club |
One Way is a children’s
Christian-based after-school activity club in a safe and stimulating
environment for primary school aged children.
The club runs from 4.00 – 5.30pm on Tuesday evenings during term time only
and is run by some of the staff from Little Lambs Pre-School Centre with a
number of helpers from Bethel.
The charge for the club is
£2, which covers a variety of hot and cold food, a drink and all the evenings’
activities. On the menu are such treats
as chips, pizza, toast, crumpets and fruit kebabs. Some of the fees pay towards art and craft
supplies and new equipment.
On arrival at the club,
the children enjoy a short discussion time with Pastor Jill and other
staff. Here, they are encouraged to
share any exciting news, birthdays or any worries or concerns that they
have. They also have the opportunity to ask
for prayers for friends and family who need someone
to pray for them.
The children then have a
free choice to take part in the many activities on offer. These include: pool, table-football,
air-hockey, computers, Wii, PS3, various crafts,
painting, sand, water, play-dough, construction, imaginative play areas and a
great selection of outdoor equipment and games.
Also, some weeks, the children have the chance to take part in cooking,
colouring competitions and skittles.
We celebrate all the
special times of year with the children, including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day,
Easter, Christmas when the children have the opportunity to make cards and
gifts.
At the end of last year we
said goodbye to some of our children who have now moved on to the Waterhole
Youth Club. Numbers at present are
approx 50 members, having had new children start again at the beginning of the
year.
The team of staff are very
dedicated and are committed to working with the children. We feel that this outreach group is much
needed in the community and we hope that through the kindness, love and
understanding we have for the children, we will show them the love of Jesus.
We look forward to seeing
you at One Way Club
