Holiday Bible Week Bishop's Stortford

Holiday Bible Week Bishop's Stortford Annual 5 day summer event for the children of Bishop's Stortford, run by local churches. It is organised by the churches of Bishop’s Stortford.

Holiday Bible Week is a week-long event for children aged between 5 & 12, every year during the school summer holidays. Each year, around 500 children take part in a wide variety of activities – all centred around Jesus Christ and the Bible. During the week, children enjoy singing, games, puzzles, Bible stories and puppet shows. The days begin at 10am and ends at 3:30pm, and there is a parents’ open evening on the Thursday evening from 6:45pm to 8:45pm, where parents and relatives are invited to see what the children have been up to. HBW has been running for 35 years. Our Aims
- To build up relationships between the churches and the local community
- To bring children into a caring and loving environment where they are valued and relationships matter
- To present Christian teaching in a relevant way through the activities, and to reflect it in team relationships
- To encourage the development of social skills and moral values
- To introduce children to Jesus and the church
- To provide interesting, stimulating and creative activities outside of the school environment
- To offer the opportunity to develop new skills and discover new interests
- To let children discover positive ways of having fun
- To enable people from churches to work together and display true Christian unity.

There are so many people that would not have met if it were not for HBW but everyone was too busy sharing Jesus’ love to be in our video 😂
