HARROW BAPTIST CHURCH
Children’s
Organisations
The Church has a
‘Safe to Grow’ policy as we recognise the importance of child protection. As
part of this, we aim to have all leaders and regular helpers CRB checked.
Young
Ones
This
is our toddler group for 0-3 year olds with their parent or carer, run by a
group of volunteers who are also members of the church. We organise a range of
fun-filled activities which include floor and table toys, books, sticking, play
dough, slide and finish with a short singing session.
Cost
£1.00 per session per family.
The
Wednesday morning sessions are very popular and are run as a “drop in” session.
A maximum of 40 children, with their Parent/carer are accommodated at any one
session. There are vacancies in the Thursday afternoon group.

16th
Harrow Brownies and Guides
These
are part of GirlGuiding
UK,
which is a worldwide uniformed organisation for girls. Both groups are open
units, having girls from all faiths and cultures.
The
Brownie pack is
for girls aged 7-10+ And meets between 6.00 p.m. and
7.30 p.m. on Friday evenings. A varied programme is organised which includes
games, craft activities, cooking and badge work. Above all we aim to have fun.

with additional help from young leaders.
Contact
the Church office on 020 8863 7837 for details.
The
Guide company is
for girls aged 10-14+ and meets between 7.30 p.m. and 9.15 p.m. on Friday
evenings. Activities include games, cooking, crafts and badge work. Some of the
evenings are planned by the girls themselves. We support a different charity
each year and at present are looking at the work of CamFed,
a charity which provides schooling for girls in Africa. The mini Christmas Fair
in 2008 raised money for this.
We
have a week camp each year and also a Winter Weekend away.
The
leaders are Chris Hughes, Heena Mistry
and Alison Dawson, helped by a group of young leaders – older girls now too old
to be Guides.
Rangers
Is a group for girls aged 14+. They meet every Friday at the same time as the
Guides. Most of the girls have come up through Brownies and Guides. They
organise a variety of activities and have supported various charities. They
also joined the Guides at their summer camp. Some of the girls help with
Brownies and are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The leaders are Janet Thompson and Nicky Lester.
Creche
This is
for 0-3year old children and runs concurrently with the Sunday morning church
service, in a comfortable carpeted room upstairs. It is organised by a group of
church members on a rota basis. The Church service is relayed through a speaker
system to the room used.
Stars
This is
the group for children aged 3-7+. They take part in an age appropriate
Bible-based programme using material from the Scripture Union.
Galaxy
This is
the group for children over 7 years of age. They also participate in a
Bible-based programme with Scriptural teaching and discussions. They
occasionally have a games morning.
Both
these groups join the adult congregation in the main Church for the first part
of the Sunday morning service.
