Weather's horrible but Life's good!

The weather here is horrible! Heavy rain and the cold has returned. No worries though because life is good! Last nights class with the younger children was great. For the first class of the new term we were surprised to have so many attend. There were a number of our faithfuls off sick, but we still had 24 kids! We had two new girls come tonight, both friends of Kimberly's. Kimberly is a great kid and over the past weeks we have seen 4 of her friends start coming to class - she's quite the little evangelist!! I was delighted with the reaction to tonight's lesson. I talked about Creation v Evolution and borrowed one of Holly and Hannah's jigsaw puzzles to illustrate. I asked the kids how many different things make up the universe, the list was impressive. Then I took the puzzle and threw the pieces up in the air and watched them land all over the floor. I asked the kids what it takes to complete the jigsaw and asked if they thought it was possible for the jigsaw to land on the floor with all the pieces landing in the exact place to complete the picture - Of course they said it's not possible! Then we talked about God being the one who put all things together to make this beautiful universe we live in. The rest of the class was good and we enjoyed some games, even roped in some of the mothers who arrived a little early to take part in the activity with the kids.

Today I have been working on a lesson for tomorrow night's class. We decided to have an open class for the 1st class back and so I have to present something that hits all ages. I have pulled 8 movie clips from 4 films and will use then to talk about "The Big Picture" and "Life's Purpose."
I am looking forward to the class. We managed to get some bibles over the break and will give them out to the kids who don't have one.

This afternoon I have a meeting at Central school about getting involved in their breakfast club at school. It will involve going to the school early one morning a week to help serve breakfast to the children need it. Tonight I will call Jerry Bowling and continue our planning for this years campaign. It has been a joy working with brother Jerry and we are anticipating a great time during campaign in May.

Take Care!
