Living Water
After a game of ‘fill the well’ we looked at the story of the Samaritan woman meeting Jesus at the well. How Jesus ignored the rules of the day and conversed with her and how her life was changed. Offering living water over normal water was a tricky concept to grasp but we talked about…

A Wee Little Man
This week we started a new series, Encounters with Jesus. We’ll be learning about individuals and groups that met Jesus, the impact he had on their lives, and what we can learn from them. Yesterday we met Nicodemus. He was a Pharisee, but didn’t hate Jesus like a lot of the other Pharisees did. He…

Loaves & Fishes
This week in Rocks and Topz we read the story of the feeding of the 5000. We started with some games on the playground, finding pictures of fish and loaves of bread that had been hidden (and thankfully not stolen by seagulls!), then running relay races to see who could get their lunch fastest! Back…

An eventful journey
Rocks, Topz and Pebbles set sail in our blanket boat from Caesarea to Rome as we heard the story of some of Paul’s journey as a prisoner. We dropped sea anchors, threw cargo, grain and tackle overboard, put ropes underneath and pulled in the lifeboat. All was in vain however as the ship neared land,…

Water into Wine
Our story was about the first miracle of Jesus. We kicked off with a water into wine game with grapes frozen in ice cubes. We talked about weddings and then heard the story including a water into wine moment (thanks to some food colouring – don’t tell the children!). Apparently it has been roughly worked…

Philip and the Ethiopian
We started off with some (safe) chariot races and then found some puzzle pieces to complete our world map. As a follow up from Around the World for Holiday Club and Passport to the World on Saturday we looked at some of the countries on the Open Doors list of persecuted Christians and churches. Why…

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
The children had a game of ‘blow the flame’ to start our session and we then had an interactive story about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. We talked about their bravery. Even though they did not know what the outcome of their actions would be, they stayed true and faithful to God. King Nebuchadnezzar was astounded…

Coming home
This week, we started a new series, Evan’s Child. We last did this series three years ago, so hopefully even the children who’ve done it before will get something different from it this time! The series as a whole teaches us what it’s like to be a child of God, and our first session is…
