This term in the Nest we are learning about the world around us to help us remember to be thankful for all the wonderful places God has created. This week we are looking at the Woodland!

Verse ‘I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.’ Psalm 9v1

Book Five Minute Bible Stories by Fiona Boon & Hayley Down (pages 71-91) (see link here). Tamsin, one of our fantastic Nest team, has recorded a video of this term’s book including a Makaton signed story and song (see link here).

Songs Who’s the king of the jungle - Creator God - If I were a butterfly - Praise the Lord - When I look (see the videos here) - Father God (to the tune of Old MacDonald, lyrics below, have a go at making up more verses with your child about other things you can find in the Woodland).

Father God made the world, E-I-E-I-O,

And in the Woodland He made a bird, E-I-E-I-O

With a tweet tweet here, and a tweet tweet there etc.

Activity Create a texture walk to explore the Woodland. Set out plates/boxes with different woodland/forest items on for your child to walk bare foot on each (or feel with hands if they don’t want to walk on them). For example: soil, leaves, sticks, pebbles, seeds, water (to help with cleaning at the end!). You could also put some of these items in a big box/bowl and let your child play with them, build with them etc.

As they walk around, talk about how the different items feel and how God made the Woodland and all the different things we find there - we can thank God for the wonderful Woodland.

Wellcome back to Treehouse - Our session is special today as we have had some visitors in the Treehouse room, to help lead the session today.

Check out the video to see who they are! 

Our story today, is about Peter walking on water - You can find this in Matthew 14:22-33

Worship: 

When I look up 

Nothing is Impossible 

Walk on Water 

Activities: 

1. Can you make a junk model boat – using everyday items you may have in the house or plastic from your recycling bin? Why don’t you fill up a bucket or the bath and see if it will float?
2.  Faith Feet

• take off your shoe, put your foot on the centre of the paper and draw round it.
• Next, use blue paint to paint the outside of the paper so that it looks like sea all around the foot shape.
• Put glue over the foot and sprinkle with glitter

You will now have a glittery foot in the sea, to remind you that God wants us to have faith in him, wherever we are.

3. Just for fun, why don’t you make jelly with your family. Drop different fruit into the jelly while it is setting. Then eat and enjoy!

This is week seven of the youth Alpha Course - ‘Who is the Holy Spirit and what does he do?’.

The Holy Spirit is… God with us. He is God with you! 

And he is a person – a he/she, not an it – the third person of the Trinity

If you ask God into your heart, The Holy Spirit is your source of strength and freedom. He brings change in our character. The Spirit gives us power to serve, and he fills our hearts with the love of God.
