What's the FLIPT?

Remember at Promiseland we always aim to make it the best hour and a half in the children's week. We hope the kids will have lots of fun as they learn about Jesus and and how he can FLIP our lives around. BTW...... it is not only the kids who have fun.................... Andrew is busy making a vase of flowers out of card and brightly coloured tissue paper. Great job Andrew.Hi girls!
Critics and onlookers round the face painting table. A popular spot each week.

Again a great time was had as we sang and worshipped the Lord with the Promiseland band.

Auntie Debbie reminded us to bring donations for our Mission Outreach this year. If the children could bring some cereal or lunch box items that we can fill these big brown bags with, then we can take a few children to the Auckland City Mission to give them an insight into what goes on there.
Auntie Anne taught the memory verse today. She thought it was the longest one we have learnt this year but the children were up for the challenge and soon were vying for the privilege of repeating it first.


It was...... 1 Corinthians 10:13
All you need to remember is
That God will never let you down
He'll never let you be pushed past your limit;
He'll always be there to help you come through it.
Who can remember what the knot in the handkerchief was for?
Uncle Matthew tested 3 young volunteers in the Temptation Game. But they all resisted temptation very well! We watched a video that told us how Satan met with Jesus and tried to tempt him. But Jesus stood up to him and never gave into temptation. We learnt that God will always help us deal with temptation and never let us be pushed past our limits.
and this week?
WHAT'S THE FLIP?
HERE'S THE FLIP
SAY NO TO SIN



Small group time followed when the children were asked about real life situations and how the best way of dealing with them would be; helping to make the lesson real and relevant in young lives.
