Most Sundays, Arena Kids will start with a drink and snack. Then we will take some time to catch up on each others weeks and share any exciting news. Once snacks have been finished and news has been shared we play some games followed by singing and dancing. Whilst everyone gets their breath back the leader will share some thoughts about stories in the bible or the life of Jesus and we think about how this can help us. Afterwards, we pray and ask God to be with us during the week and finally finish off with some sort of craft or art activity.
Belper – Sunday 10:30am
Our Belper campus runs Arena Kids, again for primary aged children, every Sunday, headed up by our wonderful Sarah. The children are taken out part way through the service to enjoy their program in the newly refurbished cabin.
Ilkeston – Sunday 10:30am
At our Ilkeston campus we run Arena Kids for primary aged children and Arena Tots for 0 to 4 year olds. All the children are in the service and leave part way through the service to join their children’s programmes. Additionally, on the first Sunday of every month, Arena Kids runs Unleashed, which is an event that runs for the whole duration of the service; this is a morning of fun, worship, crafts and games.
Mansfield – Sunday 10:30am
At our Mansfield campus we have Arena Kids, for primary aged children. This is held every Sunday, with our lovely team headed up by Liv. The children are taken out part way through the service to join their children’s programme. Also, for children under 4 there is an unmanned creche that parents are free to make use of.
Nottingham – Sunday 7pm
In the heart of Nottingham city our Arena Kids group is growing and the children are given in service activities to complete and from time to time are taken out of the service to take part in something a little more noisy.
It would be great to see you and your family at any of our campuses. If you would like to, you can register and give consent for your child before you come by completing the following form – but don’t worry if not, you can also do it on the day. Then you can just turn up and we will do the rest!
Safeguarding children is our highest priority. All of our Arena Kids volunteers are interviewed and DBS checked, and receive ongoing Child Protection training. All campuses are led by team leaders who have multiple years of experience working with a range of children with different abilities and needs.
