Olympics + Paralympics

The Olympics and Paralympics are unique sporting events, gathering the best athletes from nations across the globe. This celebration of athleticism is also a great opportunity for churches to include in their children's ministry, and cover topics such as perseverance, focus, team work, and running the race.

Holiday Programmes

Champions Holiday Club (John Hardwick)
The five Bible stories are taken from the life of Jesus in the Gospels and link into the memory verses, which all come from the Epistles.
  • Day 1: Direction: the boy Jesus in the temple
  • Day 2: Distraction: the temptation of Jesus
  • Day 3: Dedication: Jesus heals a paralysed man
  • Day 4: Determination: Jesus’ death and resurrection
  • Day 5: Decoration: Jesus’ ascension—alive and victorious!
The ideas in this book can also be adapted for all-age worship, junior church and after-school/midweek clubs.

Mini Olympics Holiday Programme (CEP)

On Your Marks - Based around the stories of Jesus from Mark's Gospel, On Your Marks aims to explain who Jesus is and what he came to do as he lived on earth. It creates a fun programme where children will feel welcomed and valued, and gives them an opportunity to respond to Jesus.
