Today was the first day of the St Mark’s holiday club for 7-11’s called SPLAT.

Each year Sarah and her team transform the inside of the church according to the theme and than have 4 great mornings of fun and teaching.

This year the title is Incredibles with the theme of superheroes. Normally each year, the leaders have work a cap or a t-shirt etc. with the splat logo on. This year Sarah has pushed out the boundaries, or lowered the standards, whichever way you look at! This year … all the leaders are wearing pants on the outside with the SPLAT logo printed on them! You can imagine how the inside of the church looks – well maybe you can’t, but the sight of 20 or so leaders wearing SPLAT pants is a sight you don’t normally see in church.

In addition … The children that want to can wear a pair of officially issued super hero pants on the outside. Sarah had to go to buy more today as she only bought 80 pairs and 100 children turned up.

This is amazing, 100 children each morning to play games and learn about God seeing them as superheroes.

Its amazing what the teams achieves throughout this week – I always think this is how church should be all the time – not children’s holiday clubs – but meeting the needs of the community, and adapting to be able to do so.
