Bring and buy sale!

Wow! What an exciting Kingdom Kids. This week as a special end of term celebration, Kingdom Kids had a bring and buy night. We very much need to buy some new bibs for our teams and which we now can, thanks to all the Kingdom kids we raised around £100. Each team had a stall and the most raised by team won points. All the children got involved helping with selling and buying things as well. Green team used their imagination and had an ice cream stall as well. Yellow team had face painting which was a favourite. Blue team had boy name keyrings which were very popular for them and red team did really well with Teddy's and smellys. Refreshments stall was run excellently by George and Pam.
The evening was rounded up with a few games led by Clare, whilst money was counted. The winner team for the most money raised was yellow team, raising an amazing £40 alone. What an amazing night.
Thank you kingdom kids for your amazing efforts and thank you leaders for your enthusiastic input.

DEVOTED - MOTHERING SUNDAY

We had a great morning together for Mothering Sunday - the school hall was full of Kingdom Kids, parents and church family. Our theme was devoted - and on Mothering Sunday recognised those devoted to us, and our call to be devoted to each other, and above all to God. We looked at Jonah, had team challenges and discussions, songs, music, dancing and lots more. Team of the Sunday was the Red Team. During Devoted we also welcomed about 8 new Kingdom Kids, and also the Childrens Ministry Team was commissioned. The picture shows some of the new Kingdom Kids, supported by other Kingdom Kids, and also members of the childrens ministry team who were commissioned by Captain Ian, our senior leader

Friday 9th March

Today we finished our programme of Jonah, with a summery of God's mercy and forgiveness towards us.

In our Throne room led by Sue, we learnt about the prodigal son and his fathers forgiveness towards him. With a trip to an imaginary theater with some fabulous famous actors and actresses tells us about this.

We had fun games led by Clare and played sink, sail and swim. This went down a storm with everyone.

Our challenge today was very difficult, but really great. Each team had to make a Whale that the whole team could fit inside, with some very large boxes. This was great with some very strange looking whales and was led by Heather.

We had lots of fun singing, dancing and worshiping the lord with Kingdom Kids and I'm gonna jump up and down. There was some great singing and fabulous dancing from everyone, including the adults!

It was amazing with many new faces and lots of old ones all having fun together.

Friday 2nd March

This week we continued with the story of Jonah and how God had mercy on him. We had lots of fun playing a game of actions and lots of running about led by Sue. Our story this week was told by Heather and some of the children helping her act out the story of Jonah, a tree, a vine and a worm, Jonah 3-4. This was lots of fun.

We danced, sang and worshiped to our favourite Kingdom Kids and learnt a new song about grace and mercy. We danced around in a big circle and had groovy walking dancing. This was a great time of worship together, even with the adults strange dancing.

Our challenge this week was to draw the whole story of Jonah on a large piece of paper. Everyone in each team work well together and presented some lovely pictures back. We had some comic strips, some all over the place story and some collage stories. This was led by Clare and all pictures had God gives everyone mercy. The teamwork was fantastic.

After all this fun we concluded with some prayer, thinking about God's mercy on us- when God does not give us what we deserved and saying sorry for when we have been bad and not deserved God's mercy and thanking God for everything He gives us.

We had so much fun. If you would like to join us we would love to see you at 6pm-7.30pm at East Stour School on Fridays.

As some of the older members of the salvation army in ashford enjoyed time out from their busy lives - so did we! Childrens Ministries Officer Clare and Capt Sue were great in helping us to understand relationship and God and us! It was great. We did lots of messey stuff, watched some DVD and played some games. Thanks Clare and Sue for a great day. We love you

Friday 2nd February

This week we welcomed back the many new faces that we have been seeing over the last couple of weeks.

This week we finished our programme of Elijah and we looked at God being all powerful. That God will protect the powerless from the people with power. Our story was from 1 Kings 21-22:40 and the children participated in a very fun and active story.

We had lots of fun with Games and the Challenge was team 'pictionary', with each team guess what powerful thing their teammate was drawing. Lots of fun and some interesting pictures.

Our time of prayer this week was led by Sue, in which the children ask God for His protection and thanked Him for being all-powerful! This was very moving to see so many children earnestly talking to Jesus!

Please continue to pray for us, the children and the team!

Well done everyone
Love Kingdom Kids x

WOW! We can't believe what is happening every week. Again this week we had a new face. We don't advertise - just let the kids do the talking with their friends.

This week we remembered that God is a God who protects. 'Be still and know that I am God'. We shared a moving time of prayer in which the children asked God to protect their families - please God.

We contiually thank GOd for the opprtunity to be such an integral part of the school community and to be honest a real privilege. If you have a child aged 4-11 why not send themalong?
