JAM is a fun weekly youth group for primary school aged children.
It runs on Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00pm at St George’s Hall, Victor St Birkdale during school term time.
I am George the JAM Dragon. I go to JAM every week with all my friends. I always try to be a good listener and show respect to everyone I meet. I like to see how all my friends at JAM, take care of each other. I often join in games when I can and, at the end of each JAM afternoon, I share some goodies from my backpack with those who have tried hard to be a friend to others or participated well. I want to be like Fr Nicholas when I grow up – kind, clever and a great runner! P.S. I am awesome at cooking marshmallows with my firey breath.
Children aged 5 years to 12 years come and have fun together, growing in their friendships and developing skills in a Christian environment. The programme includes an afternoon tea, which the children really enjoy.
The JAM program includes a wide range of creative and lively activities during each term. These include games afternoons, craft projects, pool parties, trips to the park, movie afternoons, sailing days and other exciting events. Within this active environment, the children also learn about the life and teachings of Jesus, and how to live these each day.
JAM is co-ordinated and run by a team of experienced volunteers who work together to make each afternoon safe, fun and exciting. The volunteers use their varying experience and skills to encourage the young people in all the activities run during the term, so that the young people themselves grow in confidence, experience and skills. Included in the team are the JAM Grandparents who support both the leaders and participants. All volunteers have Blue Card accreditation. In February some team members attended the vibrant Ignite 2011 expo held at Citipointe.
Please come and have fun with us! A gold coin donation is requested each week.
