"Dear Mum and Dad",  

St Leonard ’s Church Lay Ministry Team would like to introduce a way for your child to investigate and grow their understanding of the Christian faith.

Unfortunately most Sunday Schools these days are not well attended due to the fact they are held on a Sunday Morning (!) 
when there are so many  other commitments on time.

Lenny’s started last September and, to date, has 52 members !!
Our club takes place each Friday - in school - between 3.15pm & 4.15pm - and is open to every child in the school.

 Your child will explore the Christian faith through drama, reading stories about Jesus or having a craft activity or game each week.
We want the children to learn and understand at their own pace.

Kim Topham is a Governor at Clent School
and will ensure that the sessions compliment the RE work already taking place within the school curriculum.

 Refreshments will be provided.

There is a £1.00 charge, per session, to cover costs only.

All our adult helpers are CRB checked.

If you are interested in your child attending Lenny’s or wish to rebook for next term, 
please fill out a booking form and return to reception.
Many thanks and God Bless.

If you have any questions regarding Lenny’s please contact us_
