PRIZEGIVING 2008

On Sunday we shared a very exciting First Sunday with about a hundred people, including members of Kingdom Kids and their family and friends. We celebrated our children in our end of term and end of year celebration. The children took part in singing, games and other activities, all led by the Captain Sue Woodgate. The adults joined in the tasks too. Thanks were also expressed to the children for their support by the presenting of prizes. Prizes were also given to the childrens' ministries team. Thank you to you all. To conclude the day, being first Sunday, we enjoyed a family celebration buffet, attended by about eighty people. A big, no HUGE thank you to Captains, Ian and Sue Woodgate who once again worked tirelessly to organise today and made it the special day that it was.

Bowling


This Friday Kingdom Kids went on an adventure to Ashford's Ten pin bowling ally. We had about 50 children and young people and adults.

We had such great fun playing a game of bowling against our teams and some of our team leaders.

There were many strikes and spares and everyone had fun.

All creatures great and small

What an amazing Kingdom Kids Sunday!
We had so much fun coming together as a whole family and celebrating being different. We made some strange creatures and had many challenges.
We sang many songs and danced lots. Some of the adults danced more than the Kingdom kids.
We watched Mr Bean in church!
We learnt that however different we are God still loves us and that's how He made us.
Towards the end of the service, we were asked to make an ID badge to show how individual we all are. We put our thumb print on it and thanked God that no matter how different we are we are still loved and are very special to Him.
Many Kingdom Kids got enrolled and one Kingdom Kid decided to become a friend of Jesus!
We praise God for answered prayers!

Friday 9th November

This week Kingdom Kids carried on the theme of Jeremiah, a prophet of God. We continued on the story and Rachel led throne room with an interactive story of Jeremiah and the scroll.
We had lots of fun singing and dancing.
Sarah-Jane led us in some games of Sarah says... which everyone enjoyed.
Ellie helped us to pray by writing on a very long scroll the people we would like to pray for. This was a really good, reflective time.
Which was followed by Heathers challenge of writing on a scroll as a team all the things God asks us to do, such as love everyone. Then the teams as a choose one of the things written on their scrolls to act out. The teams were brilliant.
