Journey of a Lifetime: 3-session intergenerational holiday club

Picture this: parents and carers bring their children to your holiday club, but they don't all drop off - some of the parents stay. Grandparents arrive with grandchildren who are visiting. Some of your seniors group join in too. All ages are gathered - enjoying time together, exploring faith and learning from each other.

Based around 3 well-known stories from Luke, this club helps you to set up and run a fun, truly intergenerational, holiday club.

The three sessions within this resource pack focus on encounters with Jesus:
1. Encountering Jesus together – friends bring the paralysed man to Jesus (Luke 5:17-26)
2. Choosing Jesus – Jesus visits Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42)
3. Changing lives – Zacchaeus climbs a tree to see Jesus (Luke 19:1-10)
