Promiseland takeover !

Once a year the Promiselanders take over the main church service to show everyone what happens at the other end of the church where all the action usually is! We hope you enjoyed the experience. It is good to share what we do with this children each Sunday and give you a small taste of the good things we do together.
The Promiseland band helped to set the mood as they warmed up while everyone was finding their teams and starting on the worksheet. Good to see grandparents sharing the morning with their grandchildren!


Once everyone is settled we are off! Katie leading in worship as everyone joined in.



Then each team sent a representative to read a passage of scripture, with a prize for the best and most exciting reading.

Here is the eventual winner! WELL DONE!
And the memory verse this week was........
Can you remember it yet ???
Auntie Heather was our compere again on "THE SHOW YOU KNOW POP QUIZ"

With contestants from "the Miracles" team
And contestants from "the God Squad" team.Who won? It was a draw!
The Promiseland leaders shared a simple illustration of the story of salvation with the congregation. We learned that this world has one major fault....SIN...and Jesus came to earth to be the sacrifice for our sin. Now because of Jesus' love for us, we don't need to give God sacrifices like they did in the Old Testament. When Jesus died he was the perfect sacrifice, the only one we would ever need. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can ask for forgiveness of our sins. If you have never asked Jesus' to forgive your sins before ...how about doing it now?
