Get ready for Good News Week 2011!

Monday 10th – Friday 14th January 2011, Berkeley Vale High School.

Good News Week (GNW) is our opportunity to engage our community with the message of Jesus. There is something for everyone including a 5 day kids holiday program (creche – teens, Mon-Fri) and a cafe for adults.

Now is the time to put the dates in your diaries and make sure you’re around to be part of it (Sunday 9th Jan – Sunday 16th). How might God use you to reach someone for Christ this January? Below are some opportunities to serve on this year’s GNW Team, as well as more information on the program.

Opportunities to serve…

• Be a part of the Living on Site Team (LOST). A group of people from The Lakes led by Chris & Telena Hogbin are joined by others from Sydney, staying at the High School during the week and committing themselves to a 8 day mission by running the kids program.
• Get involved in cooking for the LOST Team.
• Be a part of the Adults Tent team (meeting new people, menu & theme planning, food preparation, food serving).
• Logistics & setup/packdown of resources.
• Registrations – meeting and greeting parents, registering children.
• Creche & preschool tent – being part of a roster to care for  young children while parents are in the Adults tent.
• Family Fun Day – helping run family games, bbq.

More about the program…

Kids are welcome to come for one day or the whole week. The program runs from 9-11:30 each day and the cost is $4/child/day (or max $10/family/day). All the kid’s programs are coordinated by qualified children’s workers with a support team of trained volunteers. There is a mix of games, craft, puppets, teaching from the Bible and morning tea.

During the week we also have an Adults Tent  for parents, grandparents and friends to be spoilt while their children are participating in their program (creche and preschool tent also available for parents remaining on site). Tea and coffee and plenty of yummies will be served for a small donation. We will also hear from a number of different speakers on issues that relate to us, our family and community.

Good News Week concludes with church on Sunday 16th at Berkeley Vale High School and a Family Fun Day afterwards. It should be a lot of fun and we hope you can join us!
