Had to put in a quick update from our class last night. We had a "let your hair down" kind of night with an Easter fun night. Alex and I spent much of the morning getting ready for the evenings class. We hard boiled 60 eggs in preparation for the kids to have some creative time painting and decorating them. We then set about shopping for chocolate eggs to place all over the floor of the hall. We came up with the idea of a Easter egg hunt with a twist. The kids were in pairs each holding one end of a baking tray. Once the hunt began they were not allowed to take their hands off the tray and come up with ingenious ways to get the eggs onto their trays. This turned out to be a great hit with the kids and there was much fun watching as some eggs would roll off as they tried to get more onto the tray. In the end Hannah and Nina ended up with the most eggs - 41! We also did a twist on the old ducking for apples Halloween game and had the kids ducking for cream eggs in a ball pit rather that water. This was great fun too. The time flew and before we knew it it was 8.00 and time to get the kids off home.
I must mention something really good. Owen, came tonight for the first time! Owen is the 5 year old son of the mum who phoned to enquire about the classes after the teens had been out delivering some flyers about the classes for children. He loved the class and wanted to sleep at the building! His mum stayed the whole time to see what went on and it was really nice to get to know her and let her see the church in action. Owen cant wait for the Easter break to be over, even though they have not started yet, so he can come back to class. We had a great bunch of teens helping tonight and their input really helped make the various activities run smoothly - a big thanks to you all!
God bless.
