Would your children fancy a trip to the seaside during the Easter holidays?? Then check out the brilliant holiday club programme ‘Seaside Rock’ taking place at Strathaven Evangelical Church from Monday 12th – Friday 16th April, 10:00 until 12:00 Your kids can enjoy all the fun and excitement of the beach- without leaving land-locked Strathaven!
There will be five fun-filled mornings of sand, beach games, going to 'The Golden Palace' for singing and entertainment, rock pool groups, crafts and seaside cookies, fun and laughter and - most important of all - hearing how Peter the Disciple took up the challenge to follow Jesus. The week is targeted at those in Primary 1 - 7, and will conclude with a special evening in the church on Sunday 18th April, to which all children, parents and friends will be most welcome.
Christine Shaw, who is an experienced teacher, is running the Club on behalf of the church with a team of local volunteers. Christine would be delighted to give you more information, or to send out a registration form- she can be contacted on 01698 792971. We would recommend early booking for this special event, as places are limited, and we are expecting this trip to the Seaside in April to be very popular indeed-hope to see you there!

Andrew Lacey says
You may have seen sixty people - children, young people, older folk- walking around the park on Sunday 5th October.
Some were carrying water bottles, but all walked around the park paths four times. Why? Members of the congregation of Strathaven Evangelical Church, young and old, fit and not-so-fit, set off to walk the four miles because Women and children will walk many miles every day to collect the water they use every day. The average journey a child in Africa makes is four miles. The average family there uses ten litres of water a day for all their needs - drinking, cooking and washing. The Christian relief organisation - Samaritan's Purse - aims to raise money to help the millions of people across the world who do not have access to a safe and clean water supply. Millions die from preventable diseases caused by drinking dirty water, many under the age of five. One child dies every twenty seconds from diarrhoea related illnesses.The money raised is used to provide water pumps, water filters and other means using local labour and materials.. The church raised £1,500 which will be spent on buying water filters, sinking boreholes, and building sanitation in Africa.
