God's Gang News
God makes the World (from Bubbles)
God's new world was covered with water. God said "I want to make the sea and the land". All at once the water rushed together. It made seas and rivers, lakes and ponds, oceans and puddles. That left the dry earth. God made it into rocky mountains, gentle hills, dry deserts and sandy beaches. God looked at the land and the seas shining and blue. God was happy when he saw what he had made.
God's Gang leaders meeting on the 9th April at 7.30pm at the Radcliffe's.

God's Gang News
Many of King David’s prayers are in the book of Psalms. He thanked and praised God and also asked for help – even he got scared sometimes! David said: Only God can save me; so I'm going to wait for him and not panic. I'm safe with God. He's like a mighty rock, standing firm or a castle with strong walls for protection. Trust God, my friends, and tell him everything that's worrying you. God is a safe place to run to. (Paraphrase of Psalm 62 v1,2,8)
