🎉 What a wonderful way to finish our God’s BIG Story week! 🎉

Today we came together for our Celebration Service and what a joy it was to see so many children, families and friends joining with us to celebrate all that God has done throughout the week.

To finish in style we were delighted to enjoy a visit from the ice cream van! 🍦☀️

There were lots of smiles as everyone enjoyed an ice cold treat together.

A huge thank you to our leaders who made the week happen, without you this wouldn't be possible. Thanks to everyone who prayed for us during this week.

Thank you for being part of God’s BIG Story. ❤️📖🙌

🎉 What a week at God’s BIG Story! 🎉

We have had such a wonderful time learning from God's Word, singing songs, memorising our Bible verse, completing our Journal Books, enjoying tasty snacks and having lots of fun!

A huge THANK YOU goes to all of our leaders who gave their time and energy throughout the week. Your commitment made God’s BIG Story such a special experience for every child who attended. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️

Thank you as well to all the parents and carers who brought their kids along!

We are looking forward to coming together again this Sunday for our God’s BIG Story Celebration Service at 10:30am. We would love to see all of our children, families and friends there as we celebrate everything God has done throughout the week!

Until Sunday... thank you for being part of God’s BIG Story! 🙌📖❤️

🎉What a fantastic fourth night at God’s BIG Story!

We had another wonderful evening together as we continued learning about God’s amazing love and His BIG Story.

Some of tonight’s highlights included:

✨ Adding to our Journal Books
🎶 Singing and praising God together
📖 Learning our memory verse
☀️ Enjoying time together in the warm weather with snacks

This week we have learned that God knows each of us by name and holds us close to His heart.

Check out our kids special handprints and the wonderful reminder: "My name is written in God's hand." ❤️✋

On Sunday we will join today for our special God's BIG Story Celebration Service at 10.30am, with some tasty treats!

We’ve had such a great time together and can’t wait to see you all tomorrow night! 🙌

🎉What an amazing third night at God’s BIG Story!🎉

We want to say a massive thank you to all our leaders as they have served all week
👏

We loved ❤️ enjoying ice lollies outside in the sunshine because of the warm weather🌞

Tonight, we were reminded of the greatest gift ever given to us... that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life ✝️

We love singing this song at the end every night to remind us of what God has done for us all.

Did You Know- Hillsong Kidsthe words in this song is so true :]...
