GIG (Getting Into God)

Homepage What's on A Typical Week GIG (Getting Into God)

For: years 7, 8 & 9

When: Tuesdays - 8:00 - 9:15 pm (during term-time)

(Formerly known as Tuesday Club)

The Club is for young people in school years seven to nine (that's the first three years of secondary school for all you 'old fogies' out there) and we meet every week during term time for a variety of events. Most of the group are not from church families and this year most of them are girls!!

Our normal club night evenings involve games and activities like 'dodgeball', 'bucketball', usually some creative 'craft' activity and a short 'God Spot' to end. We also have occasional 'social nights' which have included trip to Roller World, chip crawl, and as we move into the summer possibilities for outdoor games and BBQ's.

Once a year we also go away for a weekend - normally to Stathern Lodge (a big farmhouse with an even bigger sports hall) that is situated between Nottingham and Melton Mowbray. This year we went to the Quinta Centre, Shropshire instead.

As well as providing enjoyable and fun activities, GIG aims to give the young people who come an opportunity to find out about what Christians believe and what the Bible has to say about life, the universe and everything.  This term we have been studying the life of Joseph in the Old Testament to see what lessons we can learn from the way he lived and related to God.
