Flipt

Hey folks we are back! We enjoyed the break and are about to set off on a FLIPT adventure with your children over the next few weeks. I hope they all remember what Flipt means.....never mind that it is going to play havoc with my spell checker!!!
Cheralyn started her Sunday off by getting her face painted.....she seems very pleased with the result. Then the band led us all into a time of praise and worship, we did learn a new song but here you see Katy with her willing helpers singing one of the old favorites. Would be neat if we could add some audio to the blog so that you could hear the children's enthusiastic singing.

Auntie Lourdes taught us the memory verse this week. She threw this brightly wrapped ball to random kids and they had to get up and say the verse. They were all so keen to catch that ball!

The verse was ...." Come follow me, Jesus said." Matthew4:19

Then to start off our Flipt campaign we had a fun game to underline what flip meant.

Flip it-Catch it-Whip it!

We had flippers!

We had catchers!

And we had whippers! ( I reckon they had the best job, kids! what do you think?)

They had one minute to see which team had the most pancakes stacked ......the girls won!!

We were reminded of the memory verse and that following Jesus means obeying him. It means to let go of doing things our way. To get FLIPT to do things Jesus' way.

LIVE HIS WAY!

Remember the "SURPRISE" that the members of both teams got? That was to remind us that sometimes Jesus has unbelievable surprises in store for us when we LIVE HIS WAY.

Small group time followed with some games that reinforced the lessons already learned, and questions that made the kids think and come up with some good answers.

Are you ready to be FLIPT for Jesus?
