Holiday Club

Sorry the photos are not in any order....but enjoy!!!



Zara successfully guiding her balloon sheep to the rest of the flock

It is not easy trying to be a shepherd and guiding the sheep towards the rest of the flock. They can be a bit unruly and stubborn....I think there might be a lesson there :)


Luan helping the kids in making their paper sheep which we hid round the garden. The kids then had to go and find their sheep. The story behind this game was that God cares about each one of His sheep and doesn't want any of them to be lost.




All the paper sheep and two of the balloon sheep happily flocked together.



Sheryl reading to the kids at story time. They were very attentive!!


Joshua and Zara are on holiday from school now. Since the holidays are fairly lengthy (return to school the end of August) we decided to do a holiday club for some of the MAF kids. I took on the first two weeks, then two other families will take on the following weeks. The kids have really enjoyed the time. We meet on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A MAF colleague, Sheryl Strietzel has been doing a story time with them. On Monday we did the Good Samaritan and today we did the Lost Sheep. Luan, a friend from Far Reaching Ministries, did the craft today. The children had a great time learning about how God cares for each of His sheep and each made their own hand crafted sheep that they needed to take care of throughout the morning. On Friday I plan on doing Jonah and the big fish....pictures to follow.

Wow, what fun. Kids make life a blast. We are taking July off of "school" because of all the short term teams coming through our guesthouse. Plus, mommy needed a break and time to plan the next season of homeschool. Love and hugs, Summer
