Children's Bible Club May 2015

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."  Acts 1:8

Good morning, dear friends,

It has been almost a month since our last Bible club, with all the long weekends and holidays in the month of May.  This was our first get together since Easter, so it was good to touch base with our kids again.

How exciting it is to see the kids eager to come, and participate!  We are thankful for every opportunity the Lord gives us to share His Word with these young people.

It was a beautiful spring afternoon.  Before club, the kids played outside, and I can't blame them.  When you get as much wind and rain as we do here, you want to take advantage of every possible moment outside!

Damaris prepared good ole American brownies for snack today!  There wasn't a crumb left when they were finished.  These guys are good eaters!

After snack, Damaris helped the kids make an edible craft for their moms, since French Mother's Day is today.  It consisted of pie crust wrapped around apple slices to make little rose apple pies.  Very simple, very messy, and very fun!

The roses cooked during the lesson, and the kids were able to take them home for a snack for mom.  Yum yum.

The lesson for yesterday was about the arrival of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.  Since we just celebrated Pentecost Monday this week, it was a good lesson for this week.  We reviewed all that had happened in our last lessons (it had been a while) and then taught the lesson through the verse Acts 1:8.  As familiar as the Bible stories are to us, it's always fun to remember that these stories are very new to the kids we are teaching, and explaining about the Holy Spirit, tongues of fire, and speaking in tongues to a group with a very active imagination helps you to appreciate the stories all over again.  By the end of the lesson, almost all of the children had memorized Acts 1:8.  

It was another very good club.  I am thankful that the Lord allows us the blessing of serving Him in this way with these children.

See you in two weeks!

Checking our muscles...are we strong?
