Holiday Club season is in full swing. First of three I’m leading this summer, starting down in Drumnadrochit held at Loch Ness Church

We had eight children Monday, nine yesterday, exploring the Full Armour of God. We are using the short film we made back in 2019, which you can find here www.fullarmourfilm.com

Lots of fun, crafts, challenges, songs, snacks and time to find out about each piece of armour Paul encouraged the church to use in their walk with God.

Hello. I'm still here. Sorry for the silence the past two months. It's been a reasonably quiet start to the year which has been nice. Things start to get busier in March with TNT and Bright Sparks and preparing for Easter SU Holiday, as well as getting ready for Summer Holiday Clubs.

Oh, also, I am taking a break from going live every Friday at one for a while, but every so often I'll go live and let you know what I'm up to.

A major part of any programme I put together for an outreach event will involve a number of puppet parody songs. These are well known songs but with Christian lyrics. So much fun.

With permission from the rights owners of the songs, a few years ago, I decided to film some of these and put them online for folks to use as they wish. They have proved very popular and I know they have been used in church services, at home, or at children's clubs across the world.

I have five of these videos on our YouTube channel that are specially for Christmas, and this one, Mary, currently has over 5.4k views.

Just been working on my monthly financial report for Out of the Box and just wanted to take the opportunity to specifically thank every single person who has ever donated money, and continues to donate money to the work that we do.

There are a number of times that a donation comes in through one of our online donation pages and they are anonymous. So if you have ever donated like that, please accept our THANKS.

We have been so blessed over the past 16 years in terms of finance, allowing us to do all the various projects and events that we have done and also being able to pay a salary to myself, and my previous employees Matthew and Carol for the time they were working with me.

So, THANK YOU.

I also have to highlight our online giving page. Just in case anyone wants to start supporting us or send another donation. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Out of the Box (Scotland) Ltd, a Scottish charity, set up to share the Gospel using puppetry and various other forms of performing arts.

Meet Flatman, a well meaning but sometimes muddled superhero with a passion for spotless cars and fun adventures…but recently he didnt choose the right words when speaking to his loyal sidekick Bobbin. What will he do? How will he get out of this mess?

The children at a primary school assembly will find out tomorrow. 😀
