Discipleship at St. Catherine's

We will now be going two times per month, on the 2nd and 4th Saturday.  Today we arrived a bit late as we met the pastor on the way and then stopped to visit with his son Reagan who lives nearby...

Pastor James thinking about how we can set this room...
Fun!
 The early students...eager to learn about God's word...Trevor, Sharon and Miriam (back to front)
 A few more kids arrive so Denise begins to ask about their week...
 "What good thing happened this past week?"...difficult question!
"Did you wake up this morning?"
 One boy answered "I did not sleep angry", another "I was not sick"
 Time for a bit of praise & worship...
 
 
These little ones even joined in :)
 
 A peek thru the window...
 It became apparent that several of the girls arrived empty-handed...left their books 'at home'...it is hard to write in the book each session if they don't have them!
"Who has their books?"
 Clinton and Odris...
 Trevor reading from the discipleship book as Denise is teaching...
 Teacher Carol and her little one.  Teacher Carol is very excited for the kids and even for herself to be learning all about God's word.
 This little guy came to visit :)
 Filling in the blanks in their books and learning more about the Holy Spirit.
 At the end, Denise asked them what they were thankful for and then prayed about those things...
Clinton and Felix
 Then Denise asked them to each fill out a prayer card so that the members of LCC (Life Community Church) can be praying for them...
Trevor
Felix
Sophia
Sharon
Rogers
Evans
Ishmael
Trevor
 They each handed Denise their completed cards...
 
 We then took a 'head shot' of each kid, and will put their pictures with updated profile information so that they can become more known to our congregation which helps with providing a hot breakfast every day, school shoes each year and even clothes...
 
 "Who is going to youth camp this year?"  Many of them have gone the past two years and just love it!
 Relaxing after the lessons :)
 We stopped to greet Reagan (son of Pastor James) and found him in the computer center!
Reagan, "Learner" and Teacher :)
On our way to the bus we had a great treat!  One of our Bible Study ladies, Rose, was walking with her daughter Charity...she lives very close by and has invited us to visit with her next time we minister at St. Catherine's - we are so excited!
