Stop and Stand.

Promiseland got under way again this week, everyone seemed happy to be back. There were some industrious artists.


And plenty of odd characters around!









We began by worshipping the Lord together along with the band.

Julia was the only birthday girl this week.
Auntie Heather reminded us that we were collecting cereal and snack bars for the Auckland City Mission. So lets see if we can fill the bags up! OK?



The memory verse this week was taught by Auntie Anne. Can you remember the story she told about the verse?
Joshua 1:9
Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Auntie Heather had a fun game for us called "Stand Up"
It was fun watching as various children tried to stands up on the big balls! Why was it so hard? Because it wasn't balanced! And sometimes life is like that too. Standing up for what is right can be difficult when others are doing something wrong. The video we watched told us of a time Jesus stood up for what was wrong in the temple, when he overturned the moneychangers tables. Like Jesus we need sometimes to "Stop and Stand".


So have you got it?
This week's FLIP is
STOP AND STAND.
