Youth work on a smaller scale

| No Comments

I was roped into helping with Sunday School this weekend. We were looking at the Wise men and their visit to the Stable in Bethelhem (bit early I know). The Children's leader re-created the story in a way that appeared to lots of the senses including smell, yep ....we had genuine horse manure! Cool huh?

We then split up into groups and I was co-leading the 5 - 6 year olds with my wife. It was hilariously good fun and I now know that it is possible to have more tangents thrown in than by Tweenage groups. We had gold quality street wrappers, an Incense stick (not sure whether it was frank or not?) but struggled for Myrrh? (in the end we mixed a powder of Paprika, Tumeric and other random stuff and put it in a posh box).

Today, I am back to being a youth worker, phew!
