One amazing week

This has been an amazing week. We ran a school holiday program for 39 kids from Healesville. Our leaders came from Ringwood Salvos. Here's a pic of them - it was taken at night so the flash didn't quite work well enough.



Thirty-nine children attended the program. The kids enjoyed wild games, ‘the mane event’ (kids church), watering hole snacks, critter crafts and jungle faces. Each child who attended was given a New Testament, Kidzone, and a special gift. Information about other Corps activities was also given to parents, including an invite to October’s ‘Café Church’ at Healesville.

Critter crafts included painting picture frames, handprints on mugs, and 'Green Gary' grassheads.

During the afternoons the young leaders participated in leadership development activities, including personality profiling, team building and spiritual reflection.

The week was a resounding success, with very positive feedback from parents whose children attended the program. Many parents enquired about future programs in the Christmas/New Year school holidays! Nothing planned at this stage...but that's what I said last time too!!
