Day 5 Urswick Holiday club - Mission Rescue

The week has ended as it started and that was very good.  The children have had another fab time with us today, as they heard the final part of the story about God's rescue of the Israelites.  They have also had the last part of the drama which saw some enemy agents switching sides.  After the morning finished we all had a picnic and finished off with the usual water fight which again was great.  A good week was had by all.

Day 4 Urswick Holiday club - Mission Rescue

Still having fun at holiday club - today the children heard about how God rescued his people and how they were led into the desert by Moses.  The children are really enjoying all that is going on and the little play/drama each day is adding to the fun as well.  All the games and craft sessions are going great.  We have the picnic and water fight tomorrow so we are looking forward to that, as it is a chance to talk to some of the children's parents and perhaps connect with them.

Day 3 Urswick Holiday club - Mission Rescue

Great day again today - the children heard how Moses set off to tell Pharaoh what God had said and Pharaoh said a big fat NO!  The children are left to wonder if the mission that Moses was sent on has failed or if it is all part of God's big plan to show Egypt just how powerful He truly is.  The children came in disguise today as all good spies should be able to do.  Tomorrow it is international dress day when they should be coming in a costume from another country.

Day 2 Urswick Holiday club - Mission Rescue

Had another good day today at Low Furness School for the holiday club.  Today a few more children came along too which was great.  We heard the story of how God gave Moses the instructions to go back to Egypt a place he had left 40 years before, and to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free.  The children heard how God equipped Moses for the task ahead by sending his brother to help him and by giving him some signs to perform before pharaoh.  More excitement to come...

Day 1 Urswick Holiday Club - Mission Rescue

We had a great start to the holiday club this morning.  There was a buzz of activity as the children arrived and started to transform their cardboard covered table into a spy hide-out.  The theme is about spies and being on a mission and covers the rescue mission that God planned for his people and Moses was to led the way out of Egypt.  Each day the children watch a video story, as well as watching a short 'slap stick' play about a spy mission.  The day has gone well for all - roll on tomorrow.
