Have an adventure on Psalm Tree Island - Life is a journey with 'Highs and Lows'
Join the Watt family as the adventure across Palm Tree Island which has been taken over by pirates! Can they save the day?
Bible Stories focus on the lives of David and Jesus with the 'Ups and Downs' they faced. The Bible Memory Verses all come from David's Psalms.
Comments from St John's Woodbridge:
- Another fantastic holiday club with great fun, well written, Watt Family Adventure with very funny pirates!
- The children really enjoyed 'Psalm Tree Island' and the songs and stories fitted the theme perfectly. The connections between the David and Jesus stories were very clear and the two worked really well. {St John's Family and Children's worker}
- Psalm Tree Island was crazy fun but serious too and all the children liked it and went away knowing how to connect with God. {Hana - Junior Helper}
