On Good Friday we will find time to reflect but we will also be sharing the greatest message the world has ever heard with a room full of children, teenagers and parents!

‘Going Bananas’ Holiday Club final day, 2 hours of fun games and gospel.

” I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;”

(The Bible: 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 3-4)

Day 3 – Laughter, singing & plenty of cheering contributed to another energetic morning!
Today we went Bananas with the throw & catch trampoline game.
Craft time was making a parrot and today we learnt the stories of Zacchaeus, who went ‘bananas’ by giving his money away! We also thought about the cross of Jesus, the children were gripped as they listened to the story of Barabbas the first person who could say about Jesus, “He died for me!”

Tomorrow we all have a day off due to a family funeral, but we will all be back for Friday!

‘Going Bananas’ Holiday Club! is a 4-day fun event for children (school years Reception to Year 5) run by volunteers from Duncan Road Church. We start at 10.00am and finish at 12noon. It’s fun! it’s free!

Two hours of fun, games, Bible stories, competitions, DVD’s, songs and much more!
An action-packed programme with stories from both the Old and New Testament. Some Bible characters seem to have “gone bananas” for God, but these programmes show that loving, trusting and following Jesus is in fact the sanest thin

Day 2 – More fun and madness!
Today we went Bananas as we spun the wheel, swatted the mozzies (bubbles), made a board game, sang some great songs and learnt about Gideon from the Bible and the story of Sam, a boy who made mistakes but found forgiveness at the cross.
Looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow.

Day 1 – Up * running! A great start to an energetic day.
A lovely bunch of children cared for and entertained by a great bunch of helpers (My orange people – junior helpers were immense & the oldies – blue people – weren’t bad either).
Looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow.

No Speakers Corner today as we get ready for tomorrows ‘Go Bananas’ Holiday Club.
I have decided to dig out my brushes and paints and do a daily sketch board talk as part of the teaching (VVG eat you heart out!)
It must be 10+ years since I last used them and I will be a little bit nervous as I try to fill in the circles. In case you are wondering, each circle turns into a key point in the story of the Prodigal Son – e.g. circle one will turn into a coin, circle 2 will turn into a face etc.
Due to pride and lack of artistic ability you won’t get to see the final masterpiece just this prepared board – lol
If you want the whole talk to use sometime, message me and I will send you the full set of pictures.

As VVG once said,
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced”.
