On Good Friday morning Sturry United Church organised a Holiday Club for primary school children. This was similar in style to the holiday clubs run in the summer previous years, but for just one morning. We sang songs, watched a video, played games and enjoyed decorating flower pots.

 Games at Holiday Club |
The Good Friday Holiday Club was followed at 11am by the All Age Good Friday Service. During this we moved around the church, focusing at different pictures of the Passion Story. Two of these were painted specially for the day by members of the congregation (Marjorie and Jean).

We then laid flowers and a card at the tomb.
This year we were unable to take a group to Spring Harvest as most of the accommodation was booked out very early. But a few still managed to get late bookings and had a fantastic 6 days in Minehead.

 The fun fair |
Spring Harvest is a conference, held every Easter, attracting some 55,000 Christians of all ages and from a wide range of church backgrounds.
Typically the mornings are filled with teaching type activities in various styles including talks and interactive discussions. All ages are catered for from 3 months upwards, with groups tailored specifically for under 5's, 5-7's, 8-11's, 11-14's, 14-18's, students & young adults and different styles groups for adults.
Afternoons can include optional seminars but usually include visits to the beach, swimming pool or fun fair.
In the early evening there are different venues for worship, followed by a choice of late night entertainment.

Captain Graham Nunn came along on the 17th January with his usual box of tricks and helped celebrate 5 years of after-school and lunch-time clubs for Primary school children in Sturry and Hersden. In total over 250 local children have so far been involved with Jammers during its first 5 years.

The number of young people belonging to the Seekers group (age 10+) has grown to be too many to fit in the meeting room. The older members have now formed a Super Seekers group and meet in the Upper Tower Room. Super Seekers is for young people aged 14+ and generally meets on Sunday mornings, but with additional activities at other times.
Seekers continues to meet as before.
