				Children enjoyed a fun-packed week at the �Champions Holiday 
				Bible Club� in Hillsborough Elim Pentecostal Church on Monday 
				22nd to Friday 26th August from 10.30am to 12.00 noon, with 
				certificates and medals for budding young �champions.� The theme 
				for the week was based on Hebrews 12 v 1-2: �Let us run with 
				determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes 
				fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to 
				end.�
