PBC Kids activities and ideas

 The End A funny way to start I know but this is my last blog for this page. After 16 years at Pershore Baptist Church I am stepping down as the Children's worker. What an amazing time I have had.  We have run so many events and activities over the past decade and a half and I have met soooooo many families and children that I have lost count, and definitely forgotten a lot of names. Blessed When we moved to Pershore I wasn't sure what the future held. I was pregnant and not working, and I didn't know anyone in town. But I joined the church and soon made friends.  When we began Little Fishes, little did I know I would still be involved in the Children's work this many years later. God has blessed me and allowed me to grow and develop in this ministry. He has given me the chance to get to know the people and town of Pershore and to be a part of your lives. Thank you I cannot really begin to say a proper thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life over these 16 y

All You Do What do you do each day? Get up, use the bathroom, have breakfast, go to school or work . . . . The list could go on forever to say everything that everyone does. Do you ever think about your attitude to what you do? Are you sometimes grumpy or selfish? It is your turn first in the bathroom, or it is your favourite cereal so you're going to finish it, even if your brother also likes it! Be Done In Love Maybe we could all find a bit more love in the way we do things. We are taught by Jesus to put other's needs before our own, to care for someone else before ourselves. Do you do that? Whether we're at home, work, school or out and about there are ways that we can do all that we do in love. Are you good at maths but your friend isn't. Could you offer to help them out? Have you got a skill that it would be great to teach others? Could you do a bit more around the house, or at least do your chores without the grumbling and moaning? Were you respectful to the shop

Light Of The World You are maybe familiar with Jesus being called Light of the World, particularly at this time of year as we approach Halloween and Christmas. He brings hope and love from God to the people of the world and shows them the way back to a relationship with the Father. But here it is Jesus teaching the disciples and people that they are light to the world as well. If you have something special and important you want to show people, not hide it away. We have a hope that God cares about the world and about each of us and we should be ready to share that hope. No Hiding It should be obvious in your every day life that you are a follower of Jesus. If you are a Christian and no-one knows then you aren't sharing the gospel and good news. That sharing doesn't always involve words but can be shown in your actions and attitudes. You should stand out from the crowd by the love and care you exhibit. Maybe you choose to walk away and not join in the gossip, or you stand alongs

What is hope? The dictionaries say that Hope is a feeling and expectation that a particular thing is going to happen. Sometimes hope is assured and sometimes unlikely.  Maybe, you hope your favourite team will win a match. That can be likely to happen or you could be rather optimistic!  An older definition includes the idea of trust as well. So what is the hope that we have as Christians? Firstly, that if God has promised it, it will happen. We see God's promises in the bible in stories like Noah, Abraham and Joseph. Their lives included promises for the future, some of which we see come true in their lives and the lives of their families.                                                     🚢                 ✰                🌈 But our biggest Hope is rooted in Jesus Christ and who He is. We see Him as the completion of the Old Testament law, prophesies and promises and that we can depend on Him for our futures too. This is an assured Hope, something that has and will happen, not
