Well what a good time we had this morning with the children from the Infant school. Again as we started to set up the song request came in (it was actually several ) all for : Our God is a Great Big God. The hall filled up and the kids are so excitable. We sing the request song which goes down a real treat with all the kids joining in. Then Sarah started to tell a story about a lady in the Bible and guess who had to act out the part? So with a pink Stephanie wig on and Sarah reading away we told the story of the Lost Coin, which the children thought was great. Sarah followed it up with a little talk and then we sang our new favourite song Shine.
It is so good to be able to get into the schools in our area and teach the children a little something about the Bible, God and Jesus. Part-time teaching has really blessed us this year and in turn we have been able to bless others. We would ask for your prayers though at this time as my part-time 1 year contract has not yet been renewed so we are concerned a little about what happens next. With the success of this year we can't believe that it was just for a year, which might be the case if I have to take a full-time job elsewhere. Sarah and I have talked about how we would love to do more within the schools particularly on Croftlands. So that is why we ask you to pray for us. It is an exciting time - and our problems are God's opportunities.
God Bless
Mark
