Welcome to the Sparkle Club. Sparkle stands for "St Paul's All-Ages Religious Knowledge Learning Experience". We are a parallel universe existing simultaneously with the regular St Paul's service, for all those who find that the simple message is usually the most profound
Objectives:
1. Character Development - ie virtues, stories of biblical heroes and saints, parables, inspiring sayings of Jesus and Paul, proverbs, etc.
2. Knowledge Basics: Basic knowledge of what the bible is, who wrote it, its history, Christian history, liturgy and traditions, the main characters etc. The goal is that the child will develop a framework, or "pegs", for later knowledge to be acquired and discerned.
3. A Positive Experience of church and Christianity - ie enjoyable activities, fun and games, etc
