After two years of absence due to the pandemic, this summer, churches across the diocese were able to reopen their offering of holiday clubs and a range of activities, groups, and meet-ups for children, young people, and families.
More than 50 events took place ranging from small groups of 10-15 children to large gatherings of more than 300 children at the Lighthouse groups in Hazelmere. Teams of dedicated volunteers and staff provide a space for children and young people to play and bible teaching.
Gary Long, Children's and Families Worker at St John the Evangelist Carterton, shared the success their holiday club and family picnics with Fleur Ostojak on BBC Radio Oxford.
