I have also joined a youth/Bible/leaders group in Gib, which is pretty lush, people my age! yaaay! Might find some team leaders for the Pirate Party, or just people to hang out with =]...
Today I had to lead Sunday School alone (scary stuff!) and because it was a Baptism service I had some children who weren't church goers. None of them knew what baptism was. They knew you put water on the babies head but they didn't know why. I found that really surprising!!
Anyways I started off with the children making "dove namecards" (Holy Spirit visited in form of a dove etc). So then I did a demonstration, I "baptised" a rubber duck (ftw! :P) in a bowl of water and told the children why water was used, and what baptism means and why we do it.
The kids then ran over to the font to watch the real baptisms. They came back and we learnt a memory verse: Luke 3 vs 22.
I thought it was a good Sunday School =] One girl said to me, "I didn't come to church because I didn't know sunday school was fun!" happy days! One girl commented that her mum said she wasn't allowed to come to this church. Again the disagreements between donominations of religion out here are riddiculous. (I got some funny looks at youth group because I'm not a Catholic..) So please pray for these issues!
I am covered in mosquito bites =[ since I moved into my new home I've been eaten alive! (yummy?) I spose that's what you get for opening your balcony door at night :P
Last week I have done bits and bobs really. Lots of relaxing. Hopefully next week I will be more busy (I have to do some washing!?) and doing some more prep work for the Pirate Party (If we get more kids!) so please keep the event in your prayers! That children come along... And pray that I have the will power to keep going XD
Lets kick up the pace!
Hope the UK weather is okay! (I sunbathed in October, oh yeaaah...) XD
God Bless!
Over and Out x
Oh yeaaah... even rubber ducks with stripes can follow God! (y)
