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.
As
there is a considerable waiting list, we give priority to those living in the
HA1 postcode area.
Contact
the church office on 020 8863 7837 for further details.
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. As we are a church
organisation, we expect the girls to attend Church Parade, a family service in
which the children participate in readings and drama. These usually take place
4 times per year.
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.
The
leaders are Penny Hunt and Heena Mistry
with additional help from young leaders.
There
are vacancies at present. 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 and Heena Mistry, helped by a group of young leaders – older girls
now too old to be Guides.
20th
Harrow Beavers
This
is part of Scouting for boys aged 6-8 years and meets
between 6.15 p.m. and 7.15 p.m. on Friday evenings. They enjoy a wide range of
activities from games, crafts and badge work.
The
leader is Alex Marconi with additional regular helpers.
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.
