QUESTZONE 2007-2008 will be added shortly
Mission
The mission of Questzone is to work in partnership with our families and the wider church to provide opportunities for children to come into a relationship with God, through Jesus, grow in getting to know Him and desire to live as He wants them to in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Objectives
In order to facilitate this we will seek to
 Model and communicate that each child is unique, special and loved by God.Deliver sound Bible based, child centred teaching in a creative and `fun' way.Show the relevance of that teaching to our lives.Encourage personal application of what has been learnt.Give opportunities for children to belong to small groups where they can be loved, cared for and know they are accepted for who they are; where they can form friendships and learn to love and serve each other.Build a strong team of volunteer leaders who are faithful, committed and will do their very best to use their gifts to serve God in Questzone.Provide support, encouragement, love and care for all volunteer leaders and help them operate as an effective team.Communicate our programme and objectives with parents and advise them in how they can follow up on each session during the week.Engage the prayer support of the church.

Midweek Cell GroupsMid week cell groups will continue for children in school years 3 - 6. They provide an ideal opportunity to meet together in a small group during the week to chill out, socialise and to talk about spiritual truths and what it means to live as a Christian at home and at school. Groups will meet at 5 - 6pm on Wednesdays. Years 3 & 4 will meet in the Guild House and be led by Judy Towmsley, Julia Farrant and Gareth Davies. Years 5 & 6 will meet in St Anne's Cottage, led by Geoff Harley Mason, Helen Pike and Becky on Wednesdays and in Becky's house, led by Becky and Jan on Thursdays. The Thursday cell group is for year 6 only. Year 5 will be studying and discussing the topics of 'relationships' and 'how to grow as a Christian'. Year 6 will be looking at 'preparing for change', with special focus on their move to Secondary School. Cell groups will restart on 25 and 26 April 2007. New members are always welcome!
Jan Wilson will be restarting JAFFA lunchtime club in Knowle Infant School on Thursday 26 April for those in Year 2. Please look out for further information from School.
