Why come to Breakfast Club?

"I like going because we talk about God and Jesus Christ in an interesting way and the leaders make it relevant to what happens today. Breakfast Club is about meeting your friends and having fun at the same time as learning about God and about being a Christian. It is really social and helps me get closer to God" - Oliver

"I enjoy being with young people of my own age and the trips out to the Cathedral and pizza were GREAT!" - Taria

"I like learning about the Bible in that environment because it's fun and makes me want to learn" - Sophie

Father Stephen comments:
The sessions during Autumn 2009 looked at major issues (e.g. life after death, Christianity and other faiths) and in the Spring term we focused on the meaning of Lent and Easter for our own lives. At the end of the Spring term, the BC gathered in the Vicarage garden and planted a plum tree while listening to the Gospel parable of the barren fig tree.  We planted it with prayer as a sign of hope that, in the coming years, we would grow as young Christians whose faith is both confident and enquiring. 

In the Summer term we explored different ways of praying.  At the end of each term have lunch out together and our summer restaurant visit took place on July 11th.

Our sessions (once we have had breakfast!) begin with a scripture reading, followed by discussion and an activity that helps to draw out the themes and ideas of the reading and the liturgical season.  We then pray together before joining the rest of the congregation in time to receive the Sacrament.

Breakfast Club is run by Jonny Hall and Frances Denniss with great enthusiasm and links are being explored with the Junior Choir, the St Michael's Children's Musical and Twyford C of E School.
