Cruising With Noah

Why not send your children on a cruise this Summer? We’re once again running a holiday Bible club with a week full of the usual craft, games, challenges, songs, and general silliness! But this year there’s a musical twist as we’ll also be rehearsing for a musical production which will be performed on the Sunday morning. Just like the successful Amazon Adventure, Waste Watchers and Summer Knights holiday clubs of previous years, all local children aged 5-11 are invited to come along and join in the fun.

‘Cruising with Noah’ takes place at Bottisham Primary School during the first week of the school holidays. The club itself runs 9.00am until 12.30pm from Monday 25^th until Friday 29^th July, and we invite a donation of £2 per day per child as a contribution towards our costs. The performance of the musical is being held at 10.30am on Sunday 31^st July and admission to this is free, although we will be taking an offering towards the work of Tearfund. We’re inviting families to bring some snacks and sandwiches and to join us on the school field afterwards for a picnic lunch – there’ll be a bouncy castle and an ice-cream van in attendance too!

We have 9 principle acting roles available (no speaking required) and we will be auditioning for these at the beginning of the week. All children, however, will be involved in the singing of all the songs, and will be invited to dress up as one of the animals on the ark and we’ll also be making masks as one of the craft activities during the week. The musical itself explores in a fun way the tensions between the animals who are ‘Cruising with Noah’ and helps the children to think about issues like conflict, hunger and poverty. The club has been organised by RE:NEW and the team members will be people from this and other local churches. As always, the club is operated in line with our child protection policy – the welfare of the children at the club is very important to us.

Registration forms should already have gone into all of the local schools – please do send them back swiftly as places are allocated on a first come first served basis and we have to limit the number of children we can take for health and safety reasons. If your child doesn’t give you a registration form, or if you want to ensure your child’s place by booking early, then you can contact me directly or download a form from our website. All aboard – Noah’s Ark will be leaving very soon!
