"Race Of Life"

One of our recent sessions was based on a theme of "Race Of Life" and looked at things that can hold us back from following Jesus.  To help us think about this, we borrowed an inflatable bungee run!

The first part of the session was a general "let's just play and enjoy ourselves" time, which was undertaken with true enthusiasm.

Leader and helper joined in too!

We then went inside and talked about the effect of the bungee and how it held us back.  This was likened to things in our lives that hold us back from following Jesus.  Life is, as the Apostle Paul said, a race.  In order to win, that is gain eternal life, we need to follow the rules that Jesus gave us.  Not that simple!

Following the discussion, we headed back to the bungee run.  However, this time they were asked to run as far as possible down the run, repeat the memory verse before being pulled back.

Below are just a few of the 300+ photos taken during the session.  After the service had finished, other children from the younger age range had a go, along with a member of the congregation and the preacher!
