‘Boomerang’ Holiday Club. “Sorry, we are full up!” How sad to have to turn away children from this years ‘Boomerang’ Holiday Club & from hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. This is the fifth year that this inter-Church event, involving six Churches from the Fareham Western Wards, has been running during the first week of the school summer holidays. It is so encouraging to see numerical growth year by year with over 550 children attending this year! Gordon & Richard Cole (Decade Ministries) led the programme for school years 3 & 4 (7 to 9 yr olds). Over a 100 enthusiastic children attended their venue daily and during the week a number of children came to ‘Quiet Row’ with questions regarding spiritual things.

It was amazing to see God answer so many prayers and provide a great team of volunteer helpers, over 130 people in total.
The week concluded with a Family Fun Night and 1100 people attended, not all could squeeze into the marquee for the finally praise party, but they probably all heard the children singing their favourite songs of the week!

As a member of the planning committee it will not be long before Gordon meets together with the other leaders to discuss this years events and to try and figure out how we can make ‘Boomerang’ not just bigger but better next year.

‘Boomerang’ is run by the Churches in the Fareham Western Wards.
