Resources written specifically for you!
Are you keen for your CRU Group to be Bible-centred, but struggling to find the time to prepare material from scratch? Our theologically trained CRU Schools Ministry staff have created fun and engaging, age-appropriate resources specifically for lunchtime CRU Groups. Each lesson is faithful to the Bible and designed to be completed in 30 minutes, so they are short enough to run during your school’s lunch time but deep enough to stretch your students’ faith.
Each series includes 8 to 9 Bible-based studies and is designed to run for one school term including a specific week where students can invite their friends to hear the gospel. We know that whether you are a teacher or a student, school life is very busy so our aim is to provide you with a teaching resource that is complete and easy to use. They also provide a great training opportunity for students who are learning how to lead.
The lessons include game, craft and activity suggestions, prayer ideas as well as posters that you can use around your school to advertise your CRU Group. Plus all the resources are able to be photocopied for use within the school and include downloadable song ideas and other media such as PowerPoint slides and craft ideas. We have resources available for both primary and secondary school students, and you can buy them via our website, through your Schools Ministry Worker, or at the CRU Teachers’ Conference.
“Great balance of Bible and activity. The Bible content is solid, not waffle, short enough to do during lunchtime. It is all in the book and I don’t have to rework it. ”
