GROUPS
You may like to start to think and pray about which Keenite and GT groups you want to be part of this year.
Keenite (program with the kids) - if they have JUST FINISHED...:
Koalas - 4yo Kinder, Preps and Grade 1
Kangas - Grades 2, 3 and 4
Proms - Grades 5 and 6 (morning and evening program)
Tidal Waves - Years 7, 8 and 9 (morning and evening program)
Eldads - Years 10, 11 and 12 (morning and evening program)
Adults - anybody else
GT Teams (Get Together Concert - nightly event)
Life Drama - short drama based on/around the Bible theme for the day with some serious humour
Puppets - short daily play aimed at the younger kids (and internal 4yo in all of us) in the crowd
Music - not just singing songs, there are actions and fancy dress to be had too
Clowns - you decide if they should speak or not, but they deliver messages around fair play and caring for each other, encourage crowd particpation and have a lot of fun...
Serial Drama - whatever happens, happens...a play in 9 episodes...
We depend on volunteers to make Tidal River SUFM happen. Each year hundreds of children, young people and families get to know God better and make great new friends through our events because of the 70 or so volunteers who give up their time to make it happen.
All Scripture Union volunteers are required to complete an Application Form and a Consent to Release National Police Record. These forms are provided at the team preparation meetings.
Financial contributions to support the team are welcome and we hold at least one fundraising event prior to the program which we appreciate your support for!
