Lionheart and the Great Pyramid Adventure

The theme of this summer 2019's Lionheart is Lionheart and the Great Pyramid Adventure.  Look out for the Lionheart posters!

Lionheart is a Holiday Club for primary-school age children running each morning of the first week of the school holidays. The professional team, sponsored by the Church in Binley Woods, have been coming for many years.  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.

 

All adults are fully DBS checked for working with children.

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

November and Christmas 2018

We post our Special Events on the Binley Woods Facebook Page.  Look out for the Christmas events nearer the time.

We are the Thursday Morning Stay and Play

We are now the only Stay and Play in Binley Woods Village Hall.  We are on Thursday mornings starting at 9:30.

Karen and Joanne write:

We are staying and playing in Binley Woods village hall on Thursday mornings 9.30 - 11.15. We hope you will join us! 🙂  Cost is just £1.50 per child, and then 50p for any other children you bring with you.  Snacks and drinks for the children is provided, and biscuits and hot drinks for the carers.

Who we are

We, Karen Hucker and Joanne Jones, are organising it.  We are running it through the Church in Binley Woods, and have both been through the proper safeguarding process with up to date DBS's and safeguarding procedures that the church requires of all its volunteers.

Though please be clear that this is a STAY and Play group, and so the child/children you bring will be your responsibility through the duration of the session, and should never be left unattended.
Karen and Joanne

Please invite people you think would be interested!  If you are coming for the first time, note that we are using the back entrance to the village hall so we can keep the front door locked for security.  (We unlock the front door for any double buggies!)

Join our Facebook Group.   Email Karen if you have any further questions.

Who are Open Door?

A group of people meet in the Morrison Room (at the back of the Village Hall) twice a month on Tuesday at 12:30 pm and prepare a welcome for folk who live on their own to come and enjoy a bit of company for an hour or so.

We have lunch together twice a month

On the first and third Tuesday of each month we share a home cooked two course meal.  A fairly typical menu would be cottage pie with carrots and peas, and apple crumble.

If you would like to join us...

just come along to the Morrison Room at the back of the Village Hall, or phone Margaret on 7654 2496.

People experiencing life crises are visited by the minister and others to provide spiritual, emotional and practical support in the difficult times of life. If you or someone you know needs such support, please contact us on (email: , or phone Ann Watts: 7767 9200)

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!

This is a photo of our Christmas Messy Church and Christingle, after we put our Christingles together!
