VIDEOS, crafts and pizza are all part of an after-school club on Fridays at All Saints Church in the village of Brill in rural Buckinghamshire.

Up to 22 children from years Five and Six go to the club each week at the church.

Children get to enjoy toast and a chat, play games, watch a Heroes video with Christian content and do crafts.

All Saints also runs an occasional Tuesday club for years three and four.

Friday is the only day of the week that there is not an after-school club at the school itself. Church warden, Dorothy Furminger, who is involved in the club, said: "We talk to the children about Christian themes an what they think.

We have got to know them and some parents are surprised that it is free. "The Revd Jenny Edmans, of the Aylesbury Deanery's Rural Team, said: "It must have been going for about five years now.

We have a weekly assembly at the school.

It is outreach and it is sowing seeds for the future and for now because there is a Christian element to it. "
