BOOT CAMP
We are well
into Year 2 of Boot camp and I hope you are feeling that it’s all
worth it!
The plan for
the rest of this year is as follows…
Sat 5 th
April – Training Camp, 9-11am, the Stables
Sat 10 th
May – Million hours of Kindness, mission opportunity! I am looking
for Boot camp to
be involved in
the daytime acts of kindness. They will be supervised. There are
unlikely to be
supervised
activities for children who are not in Boot Camp although other
children will be
able to take
part in the day with their parents.
20 th-22nd
June – Weekend away, Devon. I have provisionally booked space in a
small
conference
centre near Dartmoor in Devon. If you think your child would like to
be part of this
weekend could
you let me know as an indication of numbers would be very useful.
28 th
June – Fair oak Carnival. Planning to put Boot Camp (and maybe
Flight Deck) in the Carnival. We
will be
working on a Boot Camp float!
19 th
July – Training Camp, 9-11am, the Stables
Boot Camp; No games, no biscuits, no cutting and sticking.
Just an opportunity to take discipleship seriously!
Further info:
Boot Camp is
a new initiative
for children in Year 5 or 6 called Boot Camp. This is a child-friendly,
relational discipleship programme designed to build God’s kingdom with the next
generation. It will consist of a monthly Training Camp supported by a variety of
mission opportunities. Boot Camp will use a range of teaching methods to put
prayer, worship and the Bible into a framework that will make sense to children.
The Programme is
called Boot Camp as we will insist on a level of discipline and engagement that
is difficult to achieve at larger events such as Flight Deck or events with a
mixed age group such as Family Time. Attendance will not be compulsory at every
Training Camps but regular attendance will ensure continuity for what is likely
to be a small group. Attendance at the majority of the Training Camps will be
required before children will be allowed to be part of the special events.
Boot Camp:
What: A mix of
prayer, worship, teaching and mission…
Who: Open to
anyone in Year 5, 6 or7.
When: One Saturday
morning a month, 9-11am, plus ‘special’ events.
