Joseph and Mary
This week’s Rocks and Topz started with a quick memory game of baby items and this led us into talking about two amazing Bible characters – Joseph and Mary. As one of the children remarked – they had a ‘mind blowing’ experience when their lives were turned upside down at the first message from the […]
John the Baptist
This week, we heard about a relative of Jesus – John the Baptist. He was called to prepare the way for Jesus and to tell others of the coming King. Some loved him…but many did not, nor did they like the fact that he pointed out their wrongdoings. He spent a lot of time in […]
Job
This week in Rocks and Topz we were learning about Job. When things were brilliant or when things were awful, he chose to praise God! And even though he never found out why he went through so much suffering, he learned that he could trust God no matter how he was feeling. We also talked […]
Esther
We tried to work out what some small and unusual objects might be useful for or what purpose they had. The children did really well – can you? Afterwards, moving from table to table and exploring different items from the story, we heard about the life of Esther and had a banquet of grapes at […]

The disciples and people who had been following Jesus were changed from a very scared, nervous bunch, to a group of men and women who did amazing things for God!
