We once again paid a visit to the cubs. We had a great time and I hope the boys did too. We had been asked to sing some of our songs and the cubs had made a list of the ones they liked the best. We didn't quite manage to sing them all but we sang most of them. Following the songs we told the story of Jesus calling Peter and Andrew. We have done this story several times in the past few weeks within school assemblies, but tonight we had taken some dress-up costumes for the cubs to act out some of the parts. Sarah read the story while I selected the actors for the various parts. We added a bit of humour to it in that Sarah said that in the boat there was Peter, Andrew and they were working with 'A net' so I chose 3 boys one for Peter, one for Andrew and one which I put a pink wig on and called them Annett! Much to Sarah's surprise when she looked up to see three in the boat so I explained - which then brought the laugh from the boys - you did need to be there but it was funny and it is one way that perhaps the boys might remember the story. It all finished normally and I concluded that we are all different and that Jesus' calls us no matter what we look like, sound like, smell like etc.
Following this we sang Touch a finger then went on to make some finger puppets so the boys could then retell the story. We encouraged them to make them as different as they could.
We then played some games with them before we finished with Shine and Wonderful Lord, during which the boys read out some prayers they had produced last week.
Well that is just a small flavour of what we did. It is great to be able to share God's good news with children and we Praise God every day that we are able to do so. May God Bless the boys and leaders of the cubs today.
