Fun with Uncle Maurice

Always lots to do at the start of Promiseland.





The children love contributing to helping our sponsored child, Joshua.

Everyone listened carefully to all that Uncle Maurice and his friend had to say.





Can you find all the "F's" in this sentence?


Do you remember the story of the boy who bought the umbrella and didn't know how to use it? can you tell it to your mum or dad?

Uncle Maurice showed us it was like having a Bible and carrying it everywhere but never opening it to see what was inside.
Then he showed us an example of faith.....and said he would tip a cup of water over someone's head without them getting wet! Here we have a brave volunteer....who at times didn't look too trusting as he pulled his hoodie up!! But he was safe! And our trust in God should be complete for He is perfectly trustworthy.

Being teachable.

Faces of Promiseland this week!


Helpers as the RTK band lead us in worship. If you wish to hear the kids singing in action see the small video in the post here.


3 Birthdays this week! Happy Birthday folks.

Uncle Ross taught us the memory verse this week as he also gave us a physical workout! Whew!

"To learn you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction."
Proverbs 12:1




Auntie Lorraine told us the story about Sammy Stingtail who fancied himself as as Private Eye but proved to be unteachable because he wouldn't listen to good advice and thought he knew better than his teacher. Auntie Katie acted out the story by changing hats for each character! She was really kept busy !
Here is Joey Off!
Here is Sammy Stingtail.
and who was this....? Yes! Right! It was Delilah.

Remember don't be embarrassed by correction. That is how we learn. Remember that others need help too.
Remind yourself that people aren't out to get you. How we react to being taught can affect us for the rest of our lives.
Remember that the Bible teaches us to..."To learn you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction." Proverbs 12:1


Joyful singing!
