Today our CMS Window on the World Holiday club got under way at Holy Trinity Church. Clapham Common. We looked at the theme of God's Light and many things that reflect it. Meg Post led the craft brilliantly making a propeller go round using solar cells and dipping candles in coloured wax. Meg leads science workshops in schools up and down the country so we are very glad she can be part of our team The leaders were as much into it as the children. The country we focused on was Albania and we looked at a story of a family from Kosovo who had lived in England for 5 years having fled from the troubles there and then one night were forced to pack all their things in 20 minutes and leave England as their plea for Asylum had failed. The children really got into the story and thought hard as to what 5 things they would have taken. At the end we challenged each other to be reflectors of God's Love in the world around and especially to the stranger in our school or community. A great start to the week...
