On Monday 5th January we started a brand new group for school years 3-5 (ages 7-10). We (the clergy and I) have been reflecting for a number of years about providing something that bridges the gap between 1st Holy Communion and jGYM. And finally last term we decided to set up a new group with the same structure as jGYM for 7 to 10 year old's. The sessions are just an hour and a half long and run on Mondays in St Joseph's Church Hall.
We have had two sessions so far with around 30 at each session and as word spreads it is bound to grow! The atmosphere has been fantastic as well and the children seem really engaged with all aspects of the evening. It is a great pleasure to provide something for this age group. I've never worked with this age group before but it has been so much fun. So in the first week of this new year we journeyed with 95 children and young people through our three groups!
Please pray for GYM-jams, the children and all those who help at the sessions. And please do keep praying for our growing youth ministry!
