We asked the children in CCC what they thought church was, and what they would like more of. Here are their answers!

What is church?



Sunday Mornings

January to March 2010 - Journey through Matthew

For the Sundays in January to March 2010 we're looking at stories from Matthew's Gospel.  Here is the schedule together with links to teaching resources for each week.

The resources are drawn from various sources; feel free to use these or any others you have to support the Subject / Stories for each week.  The resources listed here are from:

  • Bible Detectives - Matthew; this is a book mainly of puzzles of various kinds related to stories through the book of Matthew; these are marked 'BD' and you can read the book introduction here.
  • Bible Detectives - Mark; this is similar to the above, but (obviously) based on Mark's Gospel.  These gospels have many stories in common, so we can transfer ideas and resources.   These are marked 'BDMark'.
  • The Big Book of Create-your-own Bible lessons which is a collection of themed resources designed to be used with a range of Bible stories; these are marked 'BBCyo' and you can see the introduction to the book here.
  • The Big Orange/Green/Purple Books which the Sparklers have used elements from previously.  Some of these are applicable to more than one lesson - choose the relevent parts!These are marked BOB/BGB/BPB.
  • There are also some links to other children's ministry websites.  Some of these are links to whole lessons - you probably want to take ideas from these, rather than trying to do the whole of what is descirbed.

All Stars

Welcome to the All Stars web page - our Kids' Club. All Stars is open to all children in School Years 1 to 6.

If you have any questions or comments, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 020 8613 9133.

At All Stars we play games, make things, sing songs, have drinks and snacks, and hear Bible stories.

Other times, we have a bit of fun and have one of our team members be subjected to a fun forfeit, delivered by the children!

We've also got our own Bouncy Castle, which we use whenever we can!

At All Stars we play games, make things, sing songs, have drinks and snacks and hear stories about God and how He can change our lives today. Also sometimes we quiz one of the team to find out interesting and embarrassing things about them. Ian was first, and we found that his most embarrassing moment was not having an embarrassing moment! Other times, we have a bit of fun and have one of our team members be subjected to a fun forfeit, delivered by the children!

Below is Stuart, he's being painted with custard!

We are committed to making All Stars a safe place for children. We obtain Enhanced CBR(Criminal Records Bureau) clearance for all our staff and volunteers working with children and we maintain accurate records of the children who come along. To help us with this we ask that parents or careers complete an Information and Consent form when a child first comes to All Stars. To view or download a copy of that form, click here.

If you have any questions or comments about All Stars, email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 020 8613 9133.

See you soon at All Stars!
