What an AMAZING job all the kids did today! It was so great to see you putting into practice what we have been learning – that each of us has a special part to play in God’s plan for the church. I know many of you spent time at home practicing your different roles – THANK YOU!

Thanks, too, to all the leaders and parents who helped in many different ways. Isn’t it great when we all work together for Jesus!!

Check out the 'Arty the Ant' story and see the amazing illustrations produced by Peter Hensworth with Jasmine, Joshua G, Anna and Isaac on the 'Arty the Ant' page.

 

Don’t forget that next Sunday, 8^th June, is a FUN DAY for JUNIOR EDGE. We will be learning how God has a big party planned for all those who have chosen to follow Jesus – a party so much better than we can even imagine!

DON’T FORGET TO BRING A PLATE OF FOOD TO SHARE.

Don’t forget our Bible verse:
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing full of love. Ephesians 4:16

 It was great having all the kids together today - mini edge, Kool Kids and Junior Edge. Everyone did such a great job during our practice. A BIG 'thankyou' to everyone - kids, parents and leaders!
Next Sunday is the Children's service and we would like ALL Junior Edge kids to meet in the shack at 9.15am for last minute instructions and practice.
See you all then!

Edge Children's Service

1st June 2014

Don’t forget our Bible verse:
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing full of love. Ephesians 4:16

Better working Together

Today, in Junior Edge, we experienced Ephesians 4:16 – what it means to work together with everyone doing their own special work.

Thanks everyone for what you did today – your willingness, your co-operation and your cheerfulness were very encouraging. It made me think of what the early church must have been like!

A big ‘thankyou’ to our visiting helpers as well – Ola and Peter Hensworth, Ash Price and George Morgan. I’m sure all the kids enjoyed your input and learnt from you today.

Don’t forget our Bible verse:
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing full of love. Ephesians 4:16

Next Sunday, 25^th May is our one and only practice for the Children’s Service, so it would be good if EVERYONE could be there.

Also, pray for Harrison, who was taken to hospital this morning as he was very unwell.

Better to work Together

1 Corinthians 12:14-21, 24b-25 tells us that the church is like a body. As the body has many bits and pieces, all working together, so does the church have different people, with different abilities and gifts given by God. It is God’s plan that we work together, each of us doing our part, so that our church can be the way God wants it to be – a healthy church where people come to know Jesus and grow in their friendship with him.

This week’s question: Why do you think God wants his followers to work together?

Remember to learn the Bible verse for this week:
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing full of love. Ephesians 4:16

Today in Junior Edge we heard how the first Christians lived in community – learning together, eating together, sharing with each other and meeting together to worship and pray together. (You can read about this in Acts 2:42-47)

Sometimes life as a follower of Jesus is hard, but having other Christians to help and encourage us makes us stronger.

This week’s question: Name 3 things the first Christians did together.

Remember to learn the Bible verse for this week:

Hebrews 10:24-25(CEV) — We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things. Some people have got out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other.

Check out the God and Me page of this blog to learn more about being an encourager.

Term 2 2014

What an exciting second term we have planned for Junior Edge! Not only are we starting a new series called ‘Better Together’, but this term we will be having our Children’s Service. So make sure you keep Sunday, 1^st June free. Also try to keep Saturday, 31^st May free for our full rehearsal. To top all this off, we are having a fun day on the Sunday following the Kids’ Service.

It’s all too good to miss!

When life is good, it’s pretty easy to follow Jesus. But sometimes life is disappointing. Things don’t go your way, and then following Jesus isn’t so easy. But don’t give up! Jesus wants us to keep going, to keep following Him even when it’s hard, because He’s got great things in store for you – including an amazing place called Heaven.

The question for this week: What is something God is preparing for us?

HERE'S THE FLIP!  DON’T QUIT – IT’S WORTH IT

So when your friends make fun of you for going to church, DON”T QUIT. IT’S WORTH IT!

Or when you stand up for what’s right and kids laugh at you, DON”T QUIT. IT’S WORTH IT!

When it doesn’t really seem to be worth your while to tell the truth, remember it’s what Jesus wants, and DON”T QUIT. IT’S WORTH IT!

Remember to learn the Bible verse for this week:

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

Today was our last session of FLIPT. Junior edge, along with Kool Kids and mini edge are on a break until Sunday 27^th April when we will be back with more exciting programmes.

HAVE A GREAT BREAK EVERYONE!
