Chocolate!!

The old favourite - 'pass the parcel!'

Harvest Thanksgiving 2009






























Pyramid Rock Holiday Bible Club 2009



Our Holiday Bible Club in 2009 was 'Pyramid Rock!' Together we learnt about the life of Joseph. Like Joseph, we learnt that God has a plan for each of our lives - He is always there for us and provides us with everything we need because He cares for us. His greatest provision for us was His Son, the Lord Jesus who died on the cross at Calvary for the sins of each one of us so that if we say sorry for all the wrong things we have done and ask Jesus to come in and be King of our lives, we can know true forgiveness and have the assurance of a place with Him in heaven when we pass from this earth.

Champions Holiday Bible Club 2008

Our Holiday Bible Club in 2008 was entitled 'Champions!' Together, we learnt about Jesus, the Ultimate Champion, of how He came to this earth to die on the cross at Calvary for our sins and how we can claim the prize of Eternal Life if we are trusting in Him and have our sins forgiven.
