One Saturday a month we have a kid's day at our church. It runs for about four hours and we usually have an average of fifteen children. We start with some songs and warm-up (another word for energy burning!) activities. We then have about an hour for a Bible lesson, verse, and related worksheets. Mark chooses a theme for each club, and we try to tie it into the entire day. After the lesson we provide a lunch of sandwiches, pancakes (sweeter than American pancakes and a favourite treat straight out of the packet spread with butter), biscuits (cookies), crisps (chips), and a drink. We then have either a craft time or Christian dvd and some more games. The craft and lesson time are broken into two groups with Mark, Paul, and Billy working with the older group and Ethel and me with the younger children. Bethel is blessed with active, willing church members. Below are some pictures of this past Saturday's club.

More hard work on the models.
Ethel and I made heart shaped chocolate cakes and had the younger group decorate them for their parents. Mark tried his hand at cake decorating as well!

Game time!
The younger group had a great time decorating their cakes and did a wonderful job!
