This week, Rocks and Topz looked at the story of Bartimaeus. Even though he was just one person in a huge crowd, Jesus saw him and helped him. They talked about how Jesus sees and knows all of us, too! They used paper plates to make happy/sad faces to show how Bartimaeus must have felt […]
Walking on the Water
After a fun game of swimming to the islands we heard the story of Jesus spending time alone with God and then miraculously walking on the water to his disciples. They were on the lake, at first terrified to see a figure coming towards them! Jesus called out, ‘take courage! It is me. Don’t be […]
