Showtime as talented children take centre stage

Youngsters wow crowds with their theatre production

- ABI SMILLIE

The wonderful world of the theatre wowed bright eyed youngsters at St Columba Church Halls.

It was lights, camera, action as the church’s Showstoppe­rs Holiday Club entertaine­d over 30 children, helping them explore the story of God’s big plan for us all.

Each day featured a programme of songs, games, snacks and story time in the decorated space complete with lights, curtains and a miniature stage.

Challenges, including a messy one that saw leaders get covered in shaving foam and alphabetti spaghetti, brought out the youngsters’ competitiv­e side.

And by the end of the week a large number of children could recite the memory verse for each day.

A church spokesman said: “This year we had an excellent team of various skills, talents and experience that meant that the kids were totally engaged and enthusiast­ic throughout the week.

“On the final day of the holiday club we celebrated together as we invited parents and younger and older siblings to join us for a BBQ and some Renaldo’s ice cream!”

The church are already looking forward to welcoming youngsters to their next holiday club in Easter.

From April 13- 17, Mega Makers will share the gospel of Matthew in a world of invention and scientific experiment.

• St Columba’s Kids also restarts after the summer break on Sunday, August 25 between 10 and 11am for all children from pre- school to P7 for a mixture of songs, games, challenges, snack, stories and more.

We had an excellent team of various skills and talents
