Time to say goodbye

 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 years. 

But to all who have helped out at events and sessions we have run, Thank you.

To those who have welcomed myself and my ideas, Thank You.

To the families who have come along and made my job so easy and joyful, Thank You.

To those who have prayed and encouraged, Thank You.

To those who have stood alongside me for all these years, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

What Next?

In this time of upheaval and turmoil through out the world it is hard to see what will come next. But for me, a little time to reflect on all that has been and a move into something different is expected. 

I'm not moving away so please, if you see me out and about, come and say hello and tell me how the kids are getting on. I will miss you all and will definitely miss the joy of seeing the children grow. (Sorry if I forget your names though)

God Bless you all x

Praise today

  What is Praise? The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour. We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them.  We praise God because of who He is and what He has done.  How do we praise? We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas.  But we don't have to sing to praise! Maybe you are artistic and creative. The Garden of Eden Rainbow in the garden The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Ed...

Old Testament Fun

Old Testament Activity The Bible is divided into two big parts, the Old and New Testaments. These are then divided into books.  Old Testament Activity Ideas There are some very strange names in the Old Testament, including some of the titles of the books. Which is the most normal to you and which the most peculiar? That might be different for someone from a different country. I hope you have fun with the activities.
Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say?  Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. πŸ‘•    πŸ‘     πŸ‘Ÿ    πŸ‘–    πŸ‘— It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed.
