At C.I.M.C. we place a lot of emphasis, both in time and resources, in the teaching and training of children. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6. Leaders and finance always limit us, but we reach out three times each week into the community in which God has placed us. Sunday School. Do you ever remember being sent out to Sunday School and not wanting to go? Did you ever wake up on a Sunday morning excited that it was Sunday and looking forward to getting to church? The kids at our Sunday School come because they love it. We have a great Sunday School which meets each week at 10am. Everyone stays in together for the first part where we sing songs, focus on our missionary giving and talk about Bible principles. Then we divide into 3 main groups for the second part. This is where there is age-related Bible teaching, memory verses & activities. What a great place to make friends & learn about God! Sunday School is each week from 10am to 11am. Superintendent: Mrs Lorna Stewart . One Way Club One Way Club is a fantastic children's meeting. It is on each Friday at 6.30pm and usually about 50-60 kids come along. Our leaders were mostly One Way Clubbers themselves and so they know just how to make Friday nights buzz. Each week we have the coolest of songs, Bible verses, amazing stories and usually Max pops in with some words of wisdom (pictured left). He's a clever little character with a Southern Irish accent. Throughout the year clubbers gain points by attendance, bringing their membership pass, inviting friends, completing competitions etc. This all goes towards winning prizes at various points in the year. This club is geared specifically for 4 - 12 year olds. It runs from September to March and then after Easter we have fun nights once a month until the end of June. The picture on the right is from June '09. We only wish you could be with us - this is one of our best meetings! Club Leader: Wesley Stewart . Youth Challenge Y.C. meets in the church each Sunday evening at 7.50pm. Youth Challenge is for those aged 11 and over. We have a great group of young people, who are not only part of the church, but also involved in the work. On the first and third Sunday's of each month we study the course laid out by C.E.F., which gives us a five year cycle of study material. To the left you can see Wesley teaching at Youth Challenge. On the second and fourth Sundays we currently have C&C or Coffee & Chat. This is where each of the young people take a night each to organise a programme. We've been having so much fun with various quizzes and activities. It gives variation in the programme and means that we have opportunity to meet together every week rather than just twice a month. Sometimes we have a missionary night and at times we run Q&A where the young people submit questions which are answered the following week. Youth Challenge is a great way to study the Bible and it's implications on our lives. After some refreshments we sing a mix of contemporary and older songs. Usually about 16 - 20 young people attend each Youth Challenge, but there's plenty of room for more. Most of our JYC comes to Summer Camp, but other summer events included bowling at Waterworld and a night in Portrush (incl. Barrys).
