Last week 36 primary school children attended "Power Lab", a four day school holiday program at Healesville Corps. Each day the kids enjoyed wacky science experiments, great songs, fun DIY projects, and explored how Jesus gives us the power to be thankful, brave, and live forever!
One highlight of the week was an excursion to Scienceworks, where the science fun continued! Although the 3 hour return bus trip wasn't that exciting - but we did get to go through the new Eastlink tunnels and over the West Gate Bridge!
Power Lab was made possible by a team of youth from Ringwood and Waverley Corps who came to Healesville as part of a divisional mission trip. Extra funding came from local community group, Healesville Nite Chicks (Healesville's branch of the CWA). Leaders got to meet Aunty Dot Peters while in Healesville, and learn about some of Healesville's aboriginal heritage.
On the last day, nine children decided to invite Jesus to be their "forever friend". Healesville Corps looks forward to a new follow up after school kids ministry commencing in August.
