This week, we delved back into the Old Testament for a session and looked at the story of David and Goliath, tying in with the subject that the adults were looking at – strengths and weaknesses. One of our leaders was volunteered to be Goliath and the children, armed with balloon cup paper shooters, were…
As usual, Forefront will be open on the night of Chard carnival. Come and get your face glittered for the evening and take part in a carnival craft between 6-7pm. We have toilets, tea, coffee and cake – all for free.
Crafternoon restarts this week after their summer break. Come and join us at Forefront Centre for an afternoon of stitching, knitting, crafting and chatting. Bring your projects along – we’ll supply the tea and coffee.
We started off with a game which ended with a map and we prayed for some of the children of the world. We heard the story of the disciples trying to stop the children seeing Jesus as he was tired and didn’t have time for them. Jesus absolutely wanted to see them! We made some watches to…
We read the story that Jesus told about hidden treasure. The man who found it sold everything he had so he could buy something even more valuable. Jesus was teaching about God’s kingdom (anywhere where God is king) and how being with God is the most important thing in the world – and worth so…
Rocks and Topz talked about some of the impossible things that Jesus did. Last week he calmed a storm just by talking to it, and this week he fed 5000 people with one packed lunch! The children were all familiar with the story, but enjoyed having their own version of the picnic – bread rolls…
We had a fun ‘storm’ game which saw fish and figures flying all over the ocean and then read the story of Jesus calming the storm from our Jesus Storybook Bible. How amazing for the disciples to discover that Jesus could also control the weather! We chatted about how we might have felt – stunned, a…
The children added some fabulous flowers and birds to our chalk picture and we also played a game of Bird Bingo. We heard the story of ‘The Singer’ in our Jesus Storybook bible which is about Jesus telling the people how we are more important than the birds he feeds and the flowers he clothes.…
This Sunday, we started by playing a game where we matched big fancy words like ‘discombobulated’ and ‘grandiloquent’ to their simple meanings. Then we learned how to pray! We read about how the Pharisees would pray out loud in the middle of the street using the biggest, most important words they could think of –…
We talked about who we might go to for help in everyday life, then we heard the story of Jesus healing Jairus’s daughter and the lady who was bleeding for 12 years. As one of the children said – ‘Jesus is the most amazing person ever!’ The kids made a mini diorama with a movable…
This week, the group learned about how Jesus called his disciples to follow him. James, John, Simon and Andrew left everything they had to follow Jesus straight away. We all agreed that that would be really hard to do, especially without really knowing who Jesus was or what he was calling them to do! But…
