We are
31st St Matthew’s Rainbows and we meet every Wednesday
during term time between 6.00pm and 7.15pm in the Parish
Centre.
Rainbows is for girls aged 5 to 7 years who like fun,
games, crafts, and to make some new friends. We work
towards badges, complete challenges and above all, have
a brilliant time every time we meet. We even go on
special outings! This year we are fundraising in the
London Marathon in aid of Spinal Injury Association. We
are looking forward to the summer when we spend our
meetings enjoying the sunshine(!) and have
our annual trip to Abington Park! |
Each week, one lucky Rainbow gets to take home and look
after our doll called 'Olivia' for the week and record
what adventures they encounter in her scrap book. Every
single girl looks forward to looking after her and it is
lovely to see what fun they all have! Olivia has been to
weddings, swimming, the Natural History Museum,
shopping, to craft afternoons, baking flapjacks, and of
course is at Rainbow meetings each week and at Church
for All Age Masses.
At All Age Mass on Sunday 3 February our new flag was
blessed and dedicated and the girls very proudly
processed with it for the first time.
Our
Rainbow promise is:
“I promise that I will do my best,
to love my God,
and to be kind and helpful.”
Currently we have 15-20 fun-loving girls and 4 even more
crazy leaders! Oh, and our newest and youngest ever
member, Baby Myiah (daughter of Emma, one of our
Leaders).
My name is Jodie and I'm the main Leader. I've returned
to Rainbows as a Leader after progressing through
Rainbows, Brownies and Guides here at St Matthew’s since
I was 5 years old! My sister Emma has also recently
joined our leadership team. Our other two Leaders both
have a background in GirlGuiding and working with
children. So we have plenty of wacky ideas for
activities and have just as much fun as our girls!
If you would like to join or have any questions, please
contact the Parish Office.
