Since the weekend things have not let up yet. Thankfully there is strength coming from above to keep things going. The funny thing is it's not like I have just been scraping through, the assemblies yesterday and today have been amazing! I talked about compassion, humility and forgiveness being some of the most valuable treasures we can posses and in all 3 assemblies the impact was phenomenal. Each of the teachers and especially the head commented on how fitting and timely the lessons had come. I am reminded that God is in control and when I feel I should be flagging and weary I am being used powerfully - Praise God!
Last nights class was another reason to be encouraged. We had close to 30 primary age kids there and with Angie and Nina's help as well as 6 of the teens, we pulled off a great class for the kids! It happened to be Angie's birthday tonight and the intensity of volume as the kids sang "Happy Birthday" to Angie was evidence of how much they appreciate her. Everybody left feeling good - oh, apart form one boy who had been checked for blocking Nina in her run for home during a game of kickball rounders. It was nice to have on of the P7 girls at Central today come up to me and express how much she had loved being at class the night before. Beverly has only been coming for a few weeks, but is already finding joy in her young life as a result of God's church.
Holly and Hannah are all excited about tonight. They have got places for the "Brownies" and their first time will be tonight at Buchanhaven School. The group leader is Mrs Merchant who I know well from Dales Park School. They enjoyed a couple of years at "Rainbows" and have now graduated up the next group. They hope they will meet some girls they know there, but are content that even though they don't know anybody there they have each other to be with.
God Bless.
