Great Kidz Deal

Just catching up updating my blog and aware that I couldn't not make a comment on our recent Kidz Weekend with Justin Reeves. A self proclaimed disorganised person (with Paul they make some organising team!)he mentioned forgetting to bring his sermon on Sunday morning. A great weekend was had by the kidz and adults. Special moments in the Sunday morning with kidz posting prayers on a washing line, kneeling to pray and showing the adults how to be responsive to God - what a lovely picture!


"Deal or No Deal" was the theme for Sunday afternoon, bringing the message that as far as God is concerned, the deal has been done on the cross with Him offering us eternal life.

It's no big deal to have a children's Sunday a couple of times a year. We have a great bunch of kidz and their leaders who are so committed to teaching them about Jesus.


I don't want the occasion to be missed before I pay my own tribute to the work that Paul has done in leading the Sunday children's ministry over the past two years. Taking on the responsibility was him working outside his comfort zone and at considerable personal cost, Paul's wish is to hand over the responsibility as he prepares for a new chapter in his life with Fiona (to be married on 19th July). Kevin Avis has agreed to accept the overall responsibility for children's ministry at the corps ably assisted by Sheonagh who will step down from her leadership of the youth ministries at the end of the year, with Adam and Karen assuming that ministry.
