“Do
you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only
one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.
They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do
it to get a crown that will last for ever” 1 Corinthians
9 : 24 & 25

SEEK
AND YOU WILL FIND |
Discovery
club at Cwm Ifor primary school started way back in September
2004. A Friday lunch time club met weekly to study the ALF
(About Life
& Faith) & Get Active
resources. The response from the school, the children and
the parents was most encouraging, so it was agreed to make
the club a regular extra curricular event. In the first year
we held 33 lunch time sessions. Twenty children attended with
seven leaders helping out.

“This
is to my
Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit”
|
The
sessions are based on a series of memory cards which
take us through the purpose and plans God has for mankind.
We have learnt much about how God wants us to have a
loving relationship with Him and how He sent His son
Jesus to make this possible.
At Easter we held an exhibition at the school which
gave parents the opportunity to look at the children’s
work and meet with us.
Our Get Active material was introduced in the summer
term where the weather allowed us to play sport and
learn more about how God is interested in everything
we do, whether it be work or play.
Following
on from the success of year one decisions had to be
made about September 2005 and a new school year. The
support from volunteers at Bethel to act as Leaders
has been first class and this has allowed us to extend
our clubs in the school.
Our
first year group now meets on a Monday after school
from 3.10—4.00 and a new group of children meet with
us at our regular Friday lunch time sessions.
It is great to see growth in these areas.
Our second year syllabus has concentrated on the title,
“What is a Christian?” and we have used the following
template for our studies

PRAYER PARTNERS
It became fairly clear to us from an early stage that
we needed to secure the backing of a group of people
who were prepared to pray through our sessions each
week. It has been a lesson to us to recognise how much
prayer we have needed in order to make progress. We
only operate two extra curricular sessions but we would
have been powerless without these people committing
themselves to prayer.
THANK YOU PRAYER PARTNERS

There
is much confusion today concerning the term “Christian”. Hopefully
this acronym will provide a basic job description.
The vital ingredient is placed right at the top of the list—CHOICE
The CHOICE to become a Christian is a life
changing decision, but it is a CHOICE and it is a CHOICE we
all have to make.
WHAT
IS A CHRISTIAN?
C
= CHOICE
H = HONEST
R = RELIABLE
I = INTEGRITY
S = STEADFAST
T = TRAINED
I = IMITATE CHRIST
A = ATTITUDE
N = NEW LIFE
Even
Jesus had to make choices as the puzzle below reminds us.
