Get on board

Today is officially the start of winter here. As I write, Nick has taken the boys swimming. Yes, on the first day of winter, they are swimming.

Today’s session was good again, with 43 kids. My group starts with their craft every day, then after the snack break, we have our activity – today’s was sliding under the pews from the back to the front, collect a card, then slide all the way back. It was great! After the activity we go to our Bible Story, which they least enjoy, and look at me blankly, or stare at the walls or whatever else is available to look at. The bible lessons have been very good though, strongly focusing on God’s pending judgment, and salvation. Yesterday’s story was Noah, and how people laughed at Noah then – I asked the kids if they would like to be on the ark if they knew a flood was coming. They all nodded their heads vigorously, so I told them there is a “flood” coming – God is going to judge the world one day, and they need to be on board the “ark” which is Jesus.
