Journeying with Pilgrim: Children's Club October 2015

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God..." Ephesians 2:8

Good morning, dear friends!

I can't believe two weeks has passed already since our last club!  Time certainly does fly when you're, well, doing all the usual things that we do here!  Life certainly has a way of keeping us on our toes, doesn't it?

It is fall break for our kids here, so we didn't have as many children as we usually might, but we are thankful to see the same, faithful faces as we continue on our journey with Christian and the story of Pilgrim's Progress.




What would club be without our snacktime?  I'm thankful that Juliana loves making desserts, because she has taken over the responsability of making our treats.  Today was chocolate cake with Nutella frosting...hungry yet?



Today Damaris taught the lesson about "One Way," and that there are no shortcuts to get to heaven:  not by good works or human reasoning.  Timothy, even though he is sick with a pretty bad chest cold, enjoyed playing the part of Christian with his heavy burden.  The children are very attentive and seem to enjoy this "new" story.

Even though the kids enjoy the story, they need to move as well.  What better way to get everyone up and moving again but by a rousing rendition of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes...in English?  By the time we sang it several times, each time getting faster, even the kids were worn out!

Our club finished today with Chinese Whispers, a favorite review game.  Ever played telephone relay, where a whispered message gets passed around the group, just to see if the final message is the same as the original?  The kids had to make their own sentences, reviewing the lesson.  Some games never get old.

Thanks again for praying and stopping by our club!  See you again in two weeks!
