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.

Wow, another great Kingdom Kids.
We thank God for sending us many new children and young people and for seeing old ones as well. We had about 45 children and young people this kingdom kids. Which is amazing!

Rachel did a starter and some brilliant games. One where you have to get the whole team through the hoop without letting go of each others hands. Was a challenge but many enjoyed it.

Sue led us through some Prayers. Which was a time where God moved and stirred many children and young people and the adults as well.
Ellie led a challenge of prayer beads and Clare led throne room about a very bad king who didn't follow the rules and didn't care about God.
There was much singing and dancing ad we worshiped God throughout this session. With some great dancing from some of the leaders.
