Beach Fun with God

Have you been to the beach or going to one soon? I love the beach and spending time in God’s creation.

When I’m at the beach it always gives me time to think about God and spend time with him in a different way. There are lots of ways we can spend time with God when we are on the beach or even playing with sand at home. Here are some ideas.

1. Draw a picture of a story from the Bible


What story could this be? What story could you try drawing?

2. Write a message to God


What do you want to say to God, using a spade or a stick write a message to God.

3. Wash your feet

Why not get your feet all sandy and then wash your feet in the water and say sorry for the things you’ve done wrong.

4. Build something

What are you thankful for? You can try to build something with some wet sand.

Enjoy having lots of fun on the beach 🏖 or playing with sand and spending time with God!

Are you enjoying the Olympics? I wonder if the Olympics motivates you to be active and makes you want to try new things?  But I wonder if you have thought about the habits you have and how you spend time with God.

Quiet time

We all need to spend time with God getting to know him just like we do with our friends. It’s important that when we talk to God that we allow God to speak back to us. We can do this by being quiet, reading the Bible, listening to music. But what is God saying to you today?

Acts of Jesus – Quiet time with God

In the Bible, we read about times when Jesus took himself away from others to spend time with his Father.  We need to spend time with God so that we get to know him.

This year we have the Children’s Prayer Day for the Nation on Sunday 21st March.  Why not join other children praying throughout the day to pray. You could use the CCN-National-Day-of-Prayer-activities for some different ideas or you could even try the Prayer-Walk but enjoy praying for others.
