Schools Out Dads About

In ‘School’s Out, Dad’s About’, founder of ‘Who Let The Dads Out?’, Mark Chester gives you all the information, tips and practical plans you need to build a dad-children ministry for dads and other male carers with school-age children. When children get too old for ‘Who Let the Dads Out?’, a SODA club will give your church a way to welcome and nurture dads and their Reception to Year 2 children, with opportunities to have fun together and mix with other families.

Mark’s plan is comprehensiveguide that starts with fun and moves toward faith with these outline plans:

• School's Out, Dad's About! – Shows you how to make a father-friendly club for dads and young school age children with the opportunity to have fun together and mix with other families.
• Daddy Cool! - A five-session parenting programme for those attending Who Let the Dads Out? and SODA clubs. It's about food, activity, competition and facing up to the challenges of being a dad.
• Soul Man? - A discussion group that offers dads the chance to think about their beliefs and values. There is a place for those who don't believe in God at all, those who are not sure and those who do believe in God but are still working out what that means for them.
