Join us at Kilmington Baptist Church, Axminster for our church weekend – at home. Enjoy all the great things about a church weekend away, but with the comfort of your own bed each night. Here’s the plan: Fri – chilli and evening session Sat – morning sessions (with kids’ groups), treasure hunt and other activities,…
Today, Rocks and Topz heard how David was a shepherd and loved to make music. He wrote many Psalms including Psalm 23 – featured in the Jesus Storybook Bible. It tells us of Jesus the Good Shepherd. The children made some tiny figures of themselves to add to a map. This is a reminder that…
They looked at the very well-known story of David and Goliath. Even though Goliath was big and scary, David knew that God was with him. He couldn’t defeat the giant by relying on his own strength or power, but only by relying on God. They decided that even though we’re unlikely to face an actual…
Rocks and Topz was teeming with life on Sunday as they enjoyed having lots of visitors in the group to celebrate Easter! They went looking for Jesus among the tombs, but didn’t find him as he’d come back to life (one of the attached photos shows what they found instead)! They made a fun Easter egg to…
The children did a great job in hunting down some puzzle pieces to make up a picture of Samuel anointing David. We also had a choosing game to see what images we would choose and gave the reasons why. We heard the story of God choosing David – despite him being the youngest, weakest and out with…
Rocks and Topz started off with a game of ‘Jericho drop’ to get limbered up and then heard the story of Joshua and the Israelites facing Jericho. The Israelistes followed what Joshua had told them and what he in turn had heard from God. Even if it sounded really weird! Walking around the walls in…
The children looked at the next part of the Israelites’ journey – they had seen God do some amazing things to rescue them from Egypt, but they were really forgetful and started to grumble about how hard life was, even though God was still looking after them! God also gave them 10 rules that would…
This week, Rocks and Topz talked about the next step of God’s rescue plan – he’d already brought the Israelites out of Egypt, but when they were faced with the Red Sea, all the people could do was PANIC! But Moses remembered to trust God, and God rescued his people again in a really surprising way!…
This week, we started off playing ten plagues dominoes to remind ourselves of each one in the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. We also put together some props for the story so each child could contribute at the relevant point in the story. So we heard how God called Moses from the burning bush and how…
There is lots going on in Chard to celebrate over the Easter weekend. We have the Walk of Witness on Good Friday and the Sunrise Service early on Easter Sunday. As well as our usual Sunday morning service, Forefront are putting on a fun event for children at our Community Centre. Here are the details,…
We started off with some fun ‘chain gang’ games which led into the story of Joseph and his brothers wanting to kill him but then selling him into slavery. Despite their plans Joseph ended up Prince of Egypt and interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams. He forgave his brothers and was instrumental in saving their lives and that…
We had a super speedy catch up on Isaac’s life from last week’s story (when God asked Abraham to sacrifice him), how he got married, had twin boys and got tricked by his youngest son, Jacob. We then picked up the story of Jacob’s life from the time he ran away to stay with his uncle…
