He was how old?

Today we looked at the story of King Joash, 2 kings 11-12. He became a King who was faithful to God at the age of 7. We too can serve God, all be it in simple ways, we learnt today that we are not too young to live the life that God leads.

Easter Day

We will be satying together in Church to celebrate the fact that Christ is Risen. Come back to find out what we learnt.




So what happened. We stayed in together to celebrate the fact that following Jesus' death on Good Friday, that he was raised from the dead 3 days later. That was the first Easter. Those who were there found this amazing, some believed others doubdted. We are the same today, the Truth is True, however we sometimes find the truth harder to accept. Jesus is Alive, do you accept this.

Palm Sunday

Once again the children (3-11 years) were altogether, we met some rather "shy spies" who were looking at what made Palm Sunday special. They found out about people waving palm branches to celebrate Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. Palm Sunday is only part of the story though, and this coming weekend is the most significant, what will we learn then?

A promise is a promise.

This week the children looked at the story of Abraham & Sarah. God made a promise to them, that seemed impossible. However, nothing is impossible for God, and He did keep His promise to them.

Feeling sheepish

This week "Great Grandma" came to church, but she was a bit sheepish.
Apart from the very little ones we all stayed intogether: Great Grandma helped remind us that
Sheep need a shepherd to guide them, children have parents to guide them, and we all need God to be guiding us. It was Mothers Day, so some of the children managed to make gifts during there service as well.

Different type of Banquet

This week we looked at a father and son. The son went off, wasted his inheritance, then, realised he'd got it so wrong.....
so he went back to say sorry and ask to be a servant, but his father restored him to the family, and yep, they had a party to celebrate.
Some of the children made biscuits that looked like pigs, needless to say they were eaten well before any camera could get near, sorry :-)

A banquet

This week in our Hope Street Praise Party we heard the parable of the banquet that Jesus told. We also made our favourite food out of salt dough. Here's a piece of pizza!
