Could you balance a witch's hat on your head in an emergency?

Scripture kids could. We have been practising these and other potentially life-saving drills such as: balancing books on our heads; taking off one shoe and hopping across the room; taking on the names of fruits so that when, or if, the time comes we will be ready.

This week we also learnt about another aspect of God's mighty love (not for wuss's): loving our parents. God wants us to love and respect our parents and to do what they say; he promises that things will go well for us if we do. We talked about how sometimes this was difficult to do it but if we wanted to be like God who showed us his mighty love, we could rise to this mighty challenge. Emma stuck the tattoo of a love heart with 'Mother and father' on the mighty love tattooed man and we decorated picture frames with pictures of us and our families in them.

This week's Bible verse was from Ephesians 6 in the new testament:

1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." NIV
