It's difficult to measure the significance of last week's Holiday Club. Those who are involved as part of the team find it very hard work, but they all immensely enjoy it, and there's a wonderful sense of the Lord himself being at the heart of it all.
It's humbling, and itself a powerful testimony, to have so many of our teenagers involved, giving up a week of their Easter holidays to this: and as humbling to see such a number of adults, already employed in tough and demanding jobs, setting aside this week of holiday time to serve as a part of the team: and humbling, too, to have such a number of retired and older folk pouring their all into doing what the week requires.
We receive some feedback, of course. Here's a note that was pushed through my door today -
"Dear All,
I meant to send this card as soon as 'Holiday Fun Club' finished but have been struggling to find a quiet minute to do so!
I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all who were involved with making the church week such fun. What a massive effort from everyone and my children enjoyed every minute they were there. As a teacher, I know how much fun it is to be in the company of children, but I also know how exhausting it can all be! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!
I myself particularly enjoyed the games night on Wednesday and we all look forward to it all next year already!
Thanks again."
That from a family who aren't along at the church at all - apart from this Holiday Club week. It gives them a feel for the life that we live in Christ. Fun, commitment, joy, service.
I'm often wanting myself to say a huge thank you to all the countless individuals who, throughout the year, and not just through that week of Holiday Club, pour so much of themselves into this epic adventure of following Jesus and serving him in this our generation.
What a thrill, and what a privilege, to be surrounded by so many friends who give their all to further Jesus' purposes and make him known to others.
