Criss-Cross
Criss-Cross is a popular summer holiday club for children aged 4 to 11 run by King’s Church in partnership with Christians across the Tandridge district. It aims to give children an opportunity to learn about God’s extraordinary love; and to give Christians from different churches an opportunity to work together. It's typically held in the first week of the school summer holidays in the Eden Bulding at Oxted School, Covid restrictions permitting.
What to expect
Each day of Criss-Cross starts and ends in the main hall with games, songs, talks, drama, puppets and competitions. In between, there is sport, craft, workshops and a chance to explore the day’s theme.
Children bring their own snacks, drinks and lunch. Some children have severe allergies, so we ask that no nuts of any kind are brought on to the site.
Booking in details will be available here nearer the time.
Church Groups
Criss-Cross is an ideal opportunity for churches that want to provide a holiday club experience for their children but don’t have the resources to run their own. They can book in their children as a group, and send along their own leaders, enabling them to follow up the teaching in their own churches afterwards.
On the Sunday following Criss-Cross, King’s Church celebrates the event at its morning service. We encourage churches who have booked in as a group to do to the same at their venues.
History
The vision for Criss-Cross began in 2012. It lay dormant for four years before emerging in the form of a holiday club for ten children at the King’s Church Centre in Oxted. At this modest event, we were able to share the love of Jesus, and were privileged to work with Christians from local Anglican and Baptist churches. In 2017 - 2019, we built on this foundation and ran a holiday club for 120 children, widening the net of local churches who were involved to eight. While the last couple of years have been thwarted by the covid-19 pandemic, our hope is that Criss-Cross will return again soon and live on for many years to come.
