HOLIDAY BIBLE CLUB

A couple of weeks back,

we had our annual

Holiday Bible Club

here at Savannah Way Baptist Church.

It was a lot of hard work,

but it was well worth the effort.

Pup and Lydia Cotton came

and gave us a hand for the week

and we all had a great time.

This year, for the first time,

we had a puppet show every day

for the lesson. This went down very

well with the kids and James' puppet

"Tommy", quickly became the favourite.

Dave built the puppet theatre,

with Chloe's help and it worked

out really well.

Chloe was able to be one of the puppeteers

as well as myself, our Pastor's wife, Jessica

and James, with Dave being the narrator

and Abbi playing Tommy for the singing,

as James needed to play the 'real' guitar,

as opposed to the 'pretend' one that Tommy had.

We had a good crowd of kids each day

and good behaviour all round, which was

a great blessing.

There is a possibility of using the puppets

for a Christmas market here in Katherine

in November, so please be in prayer that

we can use this ministry to share the gospel.

On the last day we held a free BBQ

and invited parents to attend. It

was great to see some family members

come and enjoy the day with us.

As always, I took hundreds of photos,

with the help of Maddie,

so I have made a slideshow so you

can see the faces of these precious kids

that God has blessed us with here in Katherine.

So, if you want to see videos of the puppet

shows, singing, more adorable kids,

games etc, please take the time to watch

the video below. I have had to

cut it in half and upload

it in 2 bits, so, sorry for the

disjointedness:) Also, it will probably

not be clear if watched full screen.

Grab a cup of tea,

sit back and enjoy the slideshow

and don't forget to pray

for the work here in Katherine.

Matthew 19:14

But Jesus said, Suffer little children,

and forbid them not, to come unto me:

for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
