The Miracles of Jesus
This week I am teaching Year 4 pupils about the miracles and parables of Jesus. It has been so enjoyable for me to study and reflect on these subjects. Most Bible teachers I am sure would agree that teachers get more out of the amount of preparation that goes into teaching sessions than the students. But how to make Bible stories interesting for children can be a challenge! I always think that visual aids are important whatever our age, and I love to use art in various forms to teach the Bible. For example, we will be looking at Jesus’ first recorded miracle in John’s Gospel chapter 2 – The…

The Transfiguration of Jesus
In 2015 our son Joss completed a 3000 km trek walking the length of New Zealand. In 2016 he walked from Lands End to John O’ Groats.

Here are some photos to give you an idea of the mountain climbing challenges he met, not least the Black Cuillin Range on the Isle…

Happy Valentine’s Day?
Hi, on this page I will be sharing, reviewing, and recommending resources for children’s, family, and all-age, church-based work. I love to explore and discover new ideas, and creative ways of supporting this fantastic ministry. It’s such a privilege to serve the church and to help make worship meaningful and fun for children and families. I hope you’ll find my ideas and recommendations helpful. I am sure that many people will be celebrating Valentine’s Day tomorrow. The date stands out for me because 51 years ago Ish invited me to a church Valentine’s Party for our first date. It was memorable in that as a young woman, instead of the…
