Another new month begins and we give God the glory for the gift of each new day. Last night I enjoyed speaking at the Children's Day service in a Church in Bangor, Northern Ireland...about 1 hour's drive from my home. I thank God for each child who took part and for so many parents who came into the service. We are delighted that some children recently received certificates for completing all 30 of our Bible lessons. Also, they were presented with Bible Story books. Other children also received Bibles and pencils. The photos below show just a handful of these children.
