Dave's News - Christmas 2009

Dear friends,

The work in the Schools carries on, in enthusiasm, freshness, and creativity! Over the months, I have written various Gospel songs, and have used four of them in my assemblies! They have all gone down well, so much so that even Mr Young (St George School -Deputy Head), wants them put on a CD so he can learn them on his guitar!

Assemblies have surely been a key element in Cascot’s work within the Schools. Not only have I included the children in drama, but also in singing and playing musical instruments. In Oakwood School Warrington, there is such excitement from Teachers and Children alike! I have encouraged two Teachers to assist me with the singing, and they are thoroughly enjoying the experience!

 

My Bible themes over the last three months have all been on the miracles of Jesus! Starting with the feeding of the 5000, the walking on water, and the healings of the multitudes!

 

I do regular weekly Bible Clubs in Atherton and Newton Willows. There always seems to be good healthy enthusiasm from the children! On one occasion there was so many children attending during their lunch break that, I had to move the class into a larger classroom! Children love to read out loud, and they love discovering new stories, and appreciate the opportunity to improve on their reading skills!

 

I have been encouraged to preach at various Churches, especially Atherton Evangelical, Bolton Baptist, and Hebron. During these times I have led family and communion services. Atherton Hotshot club is going strong, and with the increased number of volunteers, the meetings are full of various activities, such as crafts, singing, quizzes, story telling, and lot’s of fun! At half term, we held a weeks mission there and that week was full of Gospel stories that the children could relate to. The good thing was, that some children from the Bible clubs from the schools attended the Hotshot special week! 

Thanking you all for your continual support! 

Dave.
