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

Harvest and thankfulness

    Harvest This coming Sunday we will be celebrating Harvest during our all-age service. I wanted to write you a poem or two to help us think about what harvest means to us today. It is a bit about food and all the fruit and vegetables we can pick and enjoy at this time of year. But, because most of us don't grow all of our food any more, it is also a chance to be thankful for all the good things we enjoy in our lives. Thankfulness What are you thankful for? It could be your family and the extra time you've had to spend with them this year. It could be that you are healthy and fit and are able to use that to help others. Maybe it is the place you live, or the community you are part of, or the beauty of our earth and universe. Even in the hard times we should try to be thankful for what God has given us. This isn't always easy but can mean that we become more aware of the goodness of God, instead of the problems of earth. Hebrews 13:15 15   Through Jesus, therefore, let u...

Creative Creator

Creator God is amazing, with an amazing imagination. I love reading and I love it when an author creates a whole world, like Middle Earth or Narnia. The imagination it must take is incredible. So what does it take to imagine a whole universe and then, not just write about it, but actually make it exist. WOW! Created If God is the creator, we are the created, made by Him. And He knows us inside out because we are special to Him. Have you made anything special? A picture or painting, maybe a pot made of clay or something with Lego. You want to keep your special thing safe and make sure it doesn't get broken. God wants us to be safe and doesn't want us hurt or broken. Creative We have a gift from God and that is creativity. We are made to make things. I find that wonderful and I love to express my creative side. I like to hand sew decorations and accessories. What is your favourite way to create?  I have listed quite a few in the chart but I know that you'll have loads more cr...

Love is ...

Colouring Page God's Love God's love for us is all of the things listed in the chapter from 1 Corinthians that I have used for the colouring page this week. This is an amazing list and teaches us how we should try to love too. Are you always patient and kind with those you love? Do you make sure you keep no record of wrongs? This is a real challenge for us and we cannot do it alone. Help along the way God has offered us help to get through our lives. He showed this love through Jesus, His Son, and He sent the Holy Spirit to guide and fill us each day. This is how we love properly. Not in our own power but in God's. Symbols of love Hearts One very familiar symbol of love is the heart 💖 and there are loads of fun ways to create them. We drew hearts and the word LOVE with white candles on white card. Then someone else painted over the images. They appear because the wax doesn't absorb the paint. Have you ever made a row of paper people? You can do this with hearts too. Co...
