Performed during the summer holidays 2017 in Croftlands Junior School
Basic Background:
The holiday club is based on the events in the life of Peter from his first call to follow by Jesus to him standing up in the temple proclaiming the risen Christ. Over the week the children will be introduced to different aspects of Jesus' character as well as seeing the overwhelming love that God has for them. This will be through the eyes of Peter who was called to Follow the Leader.
