We hope this finds you all well and enjoying the start of another wonderful year with your club. The theme for this year is “Feed the Fire” and encourages us to move from apathy to action, being fully obedient to Jesus Christ!. It will teach children to be zealous in serving the Lord by giving their very best to the things He’s asked them to do and to keep their PASSION for God through specific spiritual disciplines or habits.
Our culture has embraced casual Christianity and lukewarm life styles as the acceptable norm. Now is the time to refute our culture’s messages of apathy and complacency! As followers of Jesus Christ we must move from apathy to action, passionately pursing God, zealously serving Him, and living a life that is defned by radical, wholehearted love and obedience to God alone.
We have put the theme together as a complete pack which we hope will help to guide you and your club through the theme for this year. The pack enclosed contains all the resources you will need to plan and present the theme, including material supply lists for each section, devotions, banner design, games and much more. The aim of this pack is to help make your reparation for the theme as easy as possible and achievable even for those of you who have very limited resources and help. We also wanted it to be adaptable so you can individualise the theme to suit you and your club. So please feel free to be creative and research other relevant material and use as much or as little of the support material provided as you like.
The pack includes the following:
- Leaders Theme Resource Booklet (This includes a resource section with the resources needed for presenting the theme)
- Theme Work Booklet (Training Handbook)
- Devotional Resource Booklet
- Additional Resource Booklet, which includes: –
- Theme Banner Design (etc)
- Craft Ideas
- Games and Skits
We have supplied you with all the information above so you can print off additional copies from your computer.
We hope you all enjoy the theme this year and as always we would love your feedback to help us refne and prepare the next theme for 2020. Thank you for all the hard work you do and the time you take to share your love of the Lord with the children in your club.
Yours in Christ
