Lionheart and the Great Pyramid Adventure

The theme of this summer 2022's Lionheart is Lionheart and the Ultimate Gaming Adventure. Look out for the Lionheart posters!

Lionheart is a fast-moving time of activities run by a professional team and designed for children to have great fun as they learn more about God and themselves – no one is bored! The children always have a great time with parachute games, songs, bible stories, drama, crafts, puppets and more.  Each day the theme follows the challenges Lionheart encounters, challenges which children encounter e.g. honesty and bullying.

Please check our posts on our Facebook page to get the latest updates.

Lionheart is for Primary School children who have completed their year in Reception up to Year 6 and places are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

It runs from 10 am to 12 noon each weekday, and for the family on Sunday 10:30 to 11:30.  The cost is £20 for the week (£5 per day) for the first child and £15 (£4 per day) for each brother or sister in the same family.

For more information, or to reserve a place, contact Janet Stanley on  07761 484834 or  js@stanleys.org.

We are two groups meeting in homes

Currently, one group meets on Monday afternoons, on the second and fourth Mondays of the month, and the other meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.

What do we study?

We use study material from a wide range of sources.  Sometimes each group chooses its own topics and material.  Other times, all the groups follow the same material, keeping in step together.  For example, all the groups recently followed LICC’s Fruitfulness on the Frontline together, and separately we have used Scripture Union study booklets, Open Doors’ material on persecuted Christians, and others.

Our study is informal.  We learn together and from each other, using material which supports this approach.

What is a meeting like?

Each group develops its own style of meeting.  As well as the study topic, there is time for prayer and fellowship.

Joining a Group

We welcome people who are not members of the Church in Binley Woods.  Please contact one of us if you are interested in joining a group:

Messy Church in Binley Woods

is an opportunity to explore God’s Big Story together as a family, through crafts, food, stories and lots of fun!

What happens at Messy Church

We start at 4pm with a variety of crafts around tables and a game.  Then we all get together for a short Bible story, and follow with a light meal.  We’re usually finished around 5:30 pm.  There is no charge.

Messy Church is designed as a family-friendly session.  Parents, grandparents, carers are invited to attend with their children (no children may be left unattended) – but don’t worry, the crafts, stories and food will be enough to keep you entertained!

We’re meeting every two months, and the remaining dates in 2022 are 30th September and 25th November.  And of course there’s Lionheart Holiday Club in the first week of the school summer holidays, 25th to 29th July and Sunday morning 31st July.

Contact us

Have a look at our open Facebook Group today to get a feel for what it’s like, and join it to keep up to date with all the latest news and plans!  We are also grateful to the Primary School for putting announcements before each Messy Church in their online weekly newsletter.

To find out more, contact John Stanley on 07342 957689 or email him on jws@stanleys.org.
