Prayer at Promiseland.

This week, as Promiseland leaders planned for the new semester, Auntie Glenys, took the first session. Here she is telling about Gladys Aylward who went out to China as a missionary .She was known for leading over 100 orphans across a mountain pass for nearly a month to safety during the Chinese-Japanese war. You can see everyone was listening intently!
Someone special was helping with the traffic lights this week. Ask your family if they can remember what the traffic lights represented in respect to God answering our prayers.
Yes! We learnt how God often answers our prayers like a traffic light. Red means" no", green for "yes "and amber for" wait a while". Busy with activities!
Some very special visitors from Thailand were with us today. Hope you enjoyed Promiseland!

Ask your family too what they were queuing for here....... Auntie Glenys' autograph???.....no! Popcorn!
Looking forward to seeing you all again next week.

Time out!



Each year group spent time together out and about this final Sunday of this semester. Years 4 & 6 went to the Village Green Mini Golf on Oteha Valley Road and had a great, though rather rushed time. Did anyone tally up the scores?? It seemed having fun was far more important than who won.
The y1’s & 3’s visited Browns Bay where they purchased delicious ice-creams at Penguinos then walked to the park and had great fun on all the equipment. The y 2’s went to Long Bay Beach and also had a wonderful time.
Year 5's went ten pin bowling. How many of you got a Strike!
We will be having a break over Easter time and will recommence at Promiseland on April 29th. There will be a low key programme for the children on 15 & 22 April.
Thanks to all the parents who have helped out over the past few weeks and provided transport yesterday.
See you on the 29th!
