kids club

We are two days into our kids club. It has been going really well and we have been obeying the first rule of mission, we have been having a good time. It hasn't been a really big kids club, which is good in some ways. We have done the usual things, games, skits, music, craft and stories. The venue this time around has been Sturt Park, which is right in the centre of town.
There have been a number of things that I have really appreciated about this kids club. One is that I have been able to spend some quality time with my kids, an added bonus and a good excuse to play with them for a few hours everyday. Another is that it has been fun joining together as a community, and even though it is a mission, and we are looking after kids, it has also felt like a community outing, with a focus on the kids of the community and others that have joined in.
I think that we need to remember that mission can often be getting people to join in with us and share in the life of the kingdom of God as it is lived out amongst us.
Keep praying for us as we attempt to reach into the community around us.
