Age 3 - Year 3

 

Children love a mix and so do I! As did Jesus when he called a Taxman, a Fisherman, a Wealthy man, a Doorman and women from all walks of life to come and follow him. As children’s leaders we have been given a great privilege, sharing, showing and shining for Jesus. Through his great works we can inspire, include and ignite the children’s imaginations.

 

Bible teaching over the last few weeks has included a lot of planting and eating healthy food as we tackled difficult books like Revelation and learnt about God’s promises through Elijah. It is wonderful working with a great mix of children in Pebbles, watching them grow in Jesus’ love and faith.

Year 4 - Year 6

In June and July we talked about Elijah, and the children were encouraged to trust in God who provides wherever we are. We had a couple of weeks where both Stepping Stones and Pebbles were together and the older children performed a drama for the younger ones which went down well with all concerned. Father’s day was also a success with both groups decorating a plant pot and potting up a Sunflower for their dad’s. We also planted one for our father, God. Look out for it in church to see how it is doing? Those children that will be moving up to the Grid in September (5 in total) had a trial run one Sunday which seemed to go smoothly and the children learnt that God always keeps his promises but in his time not ours!

Year 7 Upwards
The Grid is for young people who go to senior school and we meet upstairs during the 11.00 am service. I lead the group and I must at this stage thank Colleen Clelland who comes most weeks to help me run it as I couldn't do it without her.

Every week we start with the important business - food! We have hot chocolate and eat things like Kit Kats, doughnuts and mini eggs; healthy food not allowed!

Then we tend to have a chat about everyone's week or any news that any of the young people might have. After which we get the Bible out and follow the same bible passage that is being thought about in church that week in a way that is hopefully interesting to them and we always finish with a time of prayer.

They're all lovely and it is a pleasure to spend Sunday mornings with them.
