Sarah Elliot says: ‘Here are the resources for tomorrow’s Junior Church at home. The theme is ‘waiting in the dark’.
There’s a nice activity to blindfold a child/young person and give them a collection of various coins. They have to pick out the 10ps from the selection. Then discuss how activities like this are harder ‘in the dark’. There’s also a good activity of baking a cake in a mug – the key to baking is being alert, knowing when the cake is baked = the key to tough times is being alert to God’s presence.
