 Emmanuel Evangelical Church | Other Activities | While the main energy of the church is directed towards demonstrating the love of God in bringing lost souls to Christ, we are also mindful of people's human needs for fellowship, friendship and companionship. | ||||||||||||
A wide variety of activities take place informally and in house meetings, especially for the young people. In addition to this a number of regular events are organised by or through the church.

Church & Sunday School Outing
|
Each year on one Saturday in June/July the Emmanuel Sunday School and Bible Classes (and friends) travel by bus and cars (and bikes) to Caerwent Community Centre for an afternoon of outdoor games - fun, food and frolics. |
"Emmanuel Holiday"
|
In recent years a group of "youngsters" (of widely varying ages!) have got together for a few days holiday at the Haven Christian Centre in Pembroke. We have been blessed through Bible teaching, sharing of testimonies, Bible study and a question panel. Other activities on offer include games, time around Pembroke, a day at the beach and also a visit to Heatherton Activity Park ... and, of course, enjoying the food that will be prepared for us! This half-term break is open to anyone who would like to join us for fellowship, teaching and a good time. "Over the last few years a Church holiday has been organised to Pembroke. The main focus is for those attending the Youth Fellowship meeting, but others from the congregation are also welcome. We have stayed on the beach in the Haven Christian Centre in Pembroke, which has provided a good location for trips to Barafundle Bay and Heatherton Activity Park. "(Jo Bulman) |

EMW Summer Camp
|
Applications and travel arrangements for EMW Summer Camps in North Wales are co-ordinated via the church for children aged 10-15 years. A number of our young people usually attend the camps either as guests or volunteer staff. "Every summer the EMW run camps for children and young people aged 10-18. The priority of camps is to provide spiritual teaching and guidance for the children mixed with lots of fun and games. Jo Bulman and myself have been involved in a camp for 10-12 year olds at Bryntirion for the past 5 years and hope to return again this summer. (Bethan Drayton) |
Holiday Club
| Clubs for children from the local area aged 5-11 years are arranged during the Easter and Summer holidays. These extend over several days and provide activities and scriptural teaching. |
"Rambles"
| From time to time, for example over a holiday weekend, a group of members of the congregation and friends will get together for a leisurely ramble over a few miles of local countryside. |
