We spent the day at The Salvation Army's Training College today facilitating a workshop on Children's Ministries. There are 9 cadets in two sessions at the moment and they are quite a creative group of people.
As you'll see from the photos they took to the puppets (thanks to the donors in NZ) and presented some very good displays - a lot better than we do. We experimented with making sock puppets and paper fold puppets - there were some interesting creations - it was fun.
We have also been able to teach how to make and use flannel graph boards and stories and leave each cadet with a board, made by themselves. (Getting the 4'x8' sheets of hard board from the shops, 2km away, back to the College was a job left to Daryl and Captain Christopher and is a story for another day - let's just say it felt like a long walk and carrying a board that size and dodging vehicles and pedestrians could be an interesting extreme sport.)
The Cadets leave on Saturday for a 10 day campaign so the workshop was a timely event and appreciated. We all had a fun and educational day!
