It's amazing how God uses His Word to meet us exactly where we are. A verse you've read many times can suddenly speak in a whole new way.

That is an absolute wrap on Magnified! Holiday Club 2026! 🥳🐞✨

What an absolutely incredible week it has been. We were blessed with beautiful weather all week as we got to share the amazing news of Jesus with so many wonderful kids, zooming in on how big His love, power, care and forgiveness truly are!

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to our magnificent team of leaders and volunteers who showed up to serve with so much energy and joy every single day—we are beyond grateful for you all! ❤️

We finished off the week in the best way possible with our Family Fun Night! It was a joy to welcome so many parents, siblings, and church family members into the building. From enjoying crafts and activities together and singing our favourite songs, to sharing stories of the week, the room was filled with laughter. We ended the evening perfectly, sharing a delicious dinner and dessert together. 🍲🍰

Thank you to every family who trusted us with your children this week. We have loved every second of it!

📆 SAVE THE DATE! 📆
We already can't wait for next year! Be sure to lock it in your calendars: Holiday Club will be back for the July school holidays in 2027! 🚀

Day 4 of Magnified! Holiday Club: Done! 🌌✝️

We are getting closer to the end of the week, and today we zoomed in on the incredible gift of God's grace. Our big takeaway today? "God forgives me!" 🤍

We looked at the story of Nicodemus coming to talk to Jesus in the secret of the night. Jesus shared the most famous promise in the Bible—that God loved the world so much He sent His Son so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life! We learned that even though we all make mistakes, Jesus came to rescue us, wash our slates clean, and give us a brand-new start.

Between the high-energy singing 🎶, awesome ball games 🏆, and being creative with clay, wood, paint, beads, paper, wool (the list goes on), today was packed with joy.

Can you believe tomorrow is already our final day? 🥳

Parents & Church family, the fun doesn't end at pick-up tomorrow! Don't forget to join us tomorrow night for our Family Fun Night at 5:30pm! It’s going to be a mini Holiday Club experience for the whole family, so you can see exactly what the kids have been up to all week.

Parents and leaders, what has been the biggest surprise or funniest moment of the week so far? Let us know below! 👇

See you all tomorrow!

Day 3 of Magnified! Holiday Club: Done! 💧☀️

Today we zoomed in on an incredible truth about God's heart. Our big takeaway today? "God knows everything about me, and He still loves me!" ❤️

We explored the story of the woman at the well and saw how Jesus knew every single detail of her life—including her mistakes and hurts—yet He met her with pure kindness, love, and the promise of "living water." It reminded us that we never have to hide from God or pretend to be perfect. He already knows us completely, and His love for us never changes!

From loud and proud worship 🎶 to some seriously creative crafts 🎨 and more wild wet games in the sunshine 🏃‍♂️, the halfway point of our week was an absolute blast.

Parents, has your child come home with any crafts or verses they've loved sharing? (Or leaders, what was your absolute highlight today?) Let us know in the comments! 👇

See you all tomorrow for Day 4!
