Before I get into the nitty-gritty of this weeks Church & Chips I would like to apologise for the lack of posting last week, we had just got back from a Week in England and too be completley honest I was so tired I didnt fully function for a couple of days… this week we all returned all refreshed and ready to praise God in our normal settings.. armed with brilliant stories and new Action Songs!:-)
Today also saw the Return of some of the Corps from their summer breaks which brought us back to our usual numbers, we started the meeting together as usual.. sang, prayed and danced around before moving downstairs to our weekly Sunday School Classes – this week the Junior Solders Group was led by Anne Le Marchant and Victoria – and we really bit into one of the most core teachings of the Church The Ten Commandments which are Gods only rules for us to live by, sometimes they can be hard to follow – but if you follow them correctly then you will have a good Christ-filled life.
To make our Class more exciting we played a game, did a small craft-poster activity and using Victoria’s Musical talent practiced a ‘10 Commandments Rap’ complete with beatboxing and streetwise dancing to show the rest of the congregation at the end of the Morning Meeting.
We were putting the finishing touches to the Rap when we were called back up to the Worship Hall, to close Worship and of course perform what we had been learning – Victoria led the rap, Morgan, Stuart and Kirstie turned their hands to a little bit of Beatboxing and Francesca, Courtney and Johnathon showed us how they dance on the streets… well it was much better than reading them out of a bible Thou, Covet, etc etc
After we all shared the Statement of Faith together we sang one of our new Action Songs, which we learned at MaM Camp, which is called ‘Flabberghasted’ – which has a very fresh techno feel to it… I think it is the favourite of many.
Of course the fun doesnt stop there this week… as the kids prepare to join us aboard Starship Clifton for our annual Holiday Club.. which has taken a space theme – this year it is called Starship Discovery. if you do have a ticket to board this week, we look forward to seeing you!
After the Morning Worship we tucked into a good meal, which fueled us for an afternoon filled with Running, Jumping and Hiding – we had a few good games of Pool as well this week!
, its good to see those red and yellow balls are back where they belong!
Hope you all have a Brilliant Week and think of us as we explore more of our Creator at Holiday Club!
