From the centre of our heart

Paul and I are so very grateful for the love we received yesterday as we were sent on our way. We laughed and cried all afternoon (after our nap) 😁 recalling your words to us, reading the cards you shared, and reliving the day. Our hearts are bursting. Thankyou. Love from the very centre of our hearts. ♥️, Pam and Paul

Summer Story Time: Our World is a Family

This story is about welcoming people who come from different parts of the world – places that might have different kinds of plants and animals. Draw a picture or tell about different kinds of trees that grow near your home. What wild animals might you see near where you live? I hope you enjoy this story. Pastor Pam.

Summer Story Time: From Far Away

A story about a little girl who goes to a new school in her new home, and a song about strange words. What parts of the story are sad or scary? What parts are funny? Do you know anyone who speaks another language instead of English?

Words help us communicate, but so do our actions – Here is a fun song with words and actions. https://youtu.be/69f9sCwhwYk?si=7nNq-47T8XBA1Hhh

Summer Story Time: Four Feet Two Sandals

A game and a story about two friends who share something that distance cannot take away. Draw a picture of something that you might share with a friend.

Play a game about going on a trip: the first person says: “Im going on a trip and iI’ taking _____ (the person names something that begins with the letter “A”- such as an Apple. ) The next person says ” Im going on a trip and im taking an apple (or whatever the first person said, and add something that begins with “B”. Play the game adding things by alphabetical order until the list is too long to remember. Continue playing by adding something that begins with the next letter. Have FUN! Pastor Pam

Summer Story Time: Crocodile’s Crossing- A Search for Home

A story and a song. This story is about Crocodile, having to get used to living in a new place. Many things might happen to make animals find a new place to live. Their “habitat” might change because the climate changes where they live, making it colder, wetter or hotter, or sometimes our towns and cities get bigger and the wild animals don’t like living so close to people. Draw a picture of a place that would be safe for wild animals to live.

What is the difference between a crocodile and an alligator?
