Gimme 5

The weekend of the 16th & 17th of June saw all the cadets and children heading for Levin at various stages of the day for our first mission weekend of the year.

There were a number of projects that were to be done including painting at a local school, a sunday service and 1hour outreach thingy for music morning children to come to. I was part of the music morning team. Our brief was to provide a music type afternoon for 50+ kids similar to a Hi-5 event.....

So we did. Complete with our own Gimme 5 song and 4 activites for the children and their parents to participate in..... Our team were; Sue Stevens, Kylie Tong, Rochelle Chisholm, Corryn Smith and yours truly......

Here are a few photos of the Gimme 5 team .... Never fear there is no chance of us giving Hi5 a run for their money.... except with musical composition .. well done to Shelly Toganivalu and Julie Marshall for their musical rearranging skills.......

Round and round the world we go

There are people high and low

People people everywhere

Round and round the world

Playing working helping out

Sharing trusting SHOUT IT OUT

Together is a better way

All around the world

Everybody dance and feel the joy
Everybody, every girl and every boy
Everybody dance and come alive
Because together we are better GIMME 5.

We all had a fantastic time making fools of ourselves. I think that there are times in our lives as adults when we need to make fools of ourselves just to keep us in touch with the children around us..... And also to remind us that God still uses us to impact people even when we make fools of ourselves....
