"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6
Good morning, dear friends!
So much has happened this past weekend that I was having a hard time getting everything done, so this post is a little late! Thank you so much for praying so faithfully for our Bible club! It has been a few weeks since we last had one, because of some very busy kids! It seems like the kids in France have a much bigger social life than I ever had growing up! We're thankful for familiar faces, and for the promise of more guests to come!
Of course, Bible club is not complete without snack time. Some of the kids have said that the snack time is their favorite part! This week was chocolate covered waffles, provided by our coworker Damaris! Can you say, yum?
We are journeying with Christian from the story Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. This week we joined Christian as he finally made it to the Place of Deliverance, and his burden of sin fell off and rolled away. (I think I scared the kids when Christian's burden went sailing out the window!) What a blessed reminder that Jesus takes my sins away, and all I have to do to become His child is to accept the free gift He offers me.
The children always listen well, and eat well, and play well! Classic games never get old! Damaris led us in a game of Pictionary to review the big ideas from the lesson. It's always fun to see how the kids draw even the simplest of ideas!
At the end of the club, we began our practice for our Christmas play for this year. We will be singing in English, a first for our group this year, and learning a Christmas poem. Hope that the families of our children will come and participate as well.
If you are looking for Joshua's new friend, James, you will not see him here. Unfortunately, he had to cancel at the last minute, but his mom was very apologetic on the telephone. Maybe next club you will meet Joshua's Canadian friend, who is also a Christian!
See you in two weeks for the next club!
