We have set up this page to provide resources to help families during the coronavirus crisis. We aim to post new ideas every week which are appropriate for different age children and which you should be able to do with materials that you already have around the house.
Each link below will take you to an activity sheet which you can print out or read on-screen and do together as a family. We’re also posting a link to a video for teenagers as a discussion starter for families and we’re hoping to host some teenage discussion groups online. If you’re interested in this please email us for more details.
We will also be posting and emailing these out every Thursday – if you do not already receive emails from us then please send a message to info@stlukesonline.co.uk and we will add you to our mailing list.
THURSDAY 28th May
We hope you’re managing to get shopping OK and getting enough fresh fruit and vegetables to keep yourselves healthy while we’re all still indoors quite a lot. You an use fruit as art material before you eat it and there are lots of ideas for arty fruit projects in our craft sheets this week. This Sunday is Pentecost when we remember the Holy Spirit descending on the disciples as tongues of fire and changing their lives, you can find out all about that story in our Sunday sheet.
THURSDAY 21st May
The weather has been so fantastic and hot that we thought you might like to get creative with lots of craft ideas for pictures of the sun. On Sunday we’re not only thinking about the sun but all the wonderful things that God has created for us to enjoy on the planet earth.
THURSDAY 14th May
Last week we had loads of ideas for rainbows, this week it’s loads of ideas for clouds which also fits in with our service on Sunday which features Psalm 147 which says – “God covers the sky with clouds, he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.”
THURSDAY 7th May
We’re used to seeing rainbows almost everywhere we go at the moment as a symbol of hope and of support for the NHS so this week we thought we’d give you some ideas to help you create your own rainbows. On Sunday we’ll be focussing on Psalm 146 which is all about praising God so our activity sheet has links to songs you can sing along to and some singing themed colouring.
THURSDAY 30th April
This week we have craft ideas that have something to do with parts of your body. For under 5’s it’s all about feet, for 7-11’s we’ve got an activity about faces. There’s also an activity sheet to go along with the Sunday service which includes a really catchy song you might like to listen to and maybe even dance along with. You can find that here.

This week we have different types of play dough for you to make and the children to play with and homemade games for 7-11s to make and play.
