Winter Kid’s Club DAY #5
Woke up this morning to some light snow fall. Very peaceful. This was the last regular day of Kid’s Club. Tomorrow we will have a final day that won’t have all of the normal weekday Kid’s Club activities. Today’s focus was on glorifying God with your feet. I had the responsibility of teaching the older group of kids again. The message was on Jonah, how he tried to run away from God (using his feet) after God had told him to go to Nineveh (using his feet). I showed a FacePlant skateboarding video this morning as an example of how we can use our feet for God to do really cool things. After the story of Jonah I shared with the older kids about one of my favorite skateboarding tricks, the 180. I talked about what it means to be going down a path in one direction, but then making a complete turn around, 180 degrees in the other direction. I told the story about the prodigal son…how the son had walked away from his father and squandered his inheritance, but when he had decided to turn back to the father in repentance, the father ran to him and embraced him. Such a lovely picture of us and our Heavenly Father. Also played a game called, “plant you feet,” and used it as an example of how when we turn from the path of disobedience back toward God, that we need to plant our feet in the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

Every morning, Kid’s Club starts with kids filtering into the chapel and watching a video. Then we have a time of singing. They translated the Indiana Jones type skits into Polish and the young people from the church have been doing a phenomenal job acting them out. The kids are then split into a younger and older group and dismissed to their Bible lessons. After the lesson, there is a snack. Then they alternate between crafts and games. Then there is “obiad,” which they call supper, and it consists of a bowl of soup with some pieces of buttered bread and meat or cheese.

Overall, it’s been a great week. Again the theme was glorifying God with your body. The day ended with a fresh blanket of snow falling as we went over to Mark and Naomi’s house, along with some new friends, Alissa and Damian, to enjoy hamburgers and a movie. God is so good.
