Children...

It's children's week!!!
Today I helped out at the Fun 4 Kids Day in town. I was on balloon duty, and as you can see by the picture, many ended up on the roof of the hall! Many families came to the day, with toddlers running around everywhere! It was crazy, but fun to be part of.

I collated a list of all the contacts we have made through the school holiday programs today. We have connected with 44 families, which comes to 59 kids!!! These families were not connected to us before we ran our two school holiday programs. We're planning on starting a kids club, called Kidzone, in the near future - if you want to help out let me know!

Children are so important. It's been good to have grandchildren come to church with their grandparents during the year. Its fun (most weeks) going to the primary school and teaching Christian Education. One way that Healesville Salvos can stay relevant in this community is to connect with children and their families.

Speaking of children...I'm still waiting to become an uncle - any day now!
