Alphabet Messages from Kay
SUNDAY 24 MAY
Morning all, I hope this penguin gif works when I post it because their wee dance is certainly funny, well I thought it was anyway. If it doesn't then I hope the words will inspire you to do something fun today, after you've joined me for worship of course . Did any of you ever feel when you were younger that you were 'dragged' to church and it was 'no fun' ( i have heard stories of kids getting sookie sweeties in their mouths to keep them quiet) no wonder they may have felt church wasn't fun, never mind Sunday's. Well not in Jackson people- and certainly not in my ministry. Obviously church has a serious and meaningful aspect to Sunday worship but my friends it should also be FUN. God has a sense of humour ( He called me to the ministry ). Part of life is to have fun, God wants His children of all ages to have fun. Church without fun and laughter wouldn't leave you with many happy memories and maybe even leave you thinking of God as a stern, boring God and all too serious God when in fact He's the opposite. I have a vision of a loving, laughing God who loves to see us having fun every day and especially when we worship Him together as a church family, which just happens to be on a Sunday. So church and community, today make sure you have a fun Sunday, a fun worship time and a fun relationship with God. Happy days. God is a God of FUN.

PRAYER: Lord God, thank You for sharing my fun with me. Thank You that You laugh with me and my happiness makes You happy too. Forgive me when I take my life and worship too seriously and forget to have fun. Our world just now seems to be very serious, but today I will make every effort to do something fun knowing You will share it with me. Maybe I could even do a wee dance like the penguins in the image. Thank You God for fun. Amen
CHORUS:
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands......
If your happy and you it stamp your feet......
If your happy and you it shout AMEN
If your happy and you it do all three.SATURDAY 23 MAY
Good morning all, so now my alphabet challenge has come to an end, what next I ask? Well my friend has been sending me daily images this past week as you see, so I thought I could use them for the next week anyway then see where we go from there. So Saturday, I think that song was from Oklahoma, I have a vague memory of it ( I am happy to be corrected). So is your Saturday beautiful ( discount the weather ).
Questions: what makes your Saturday beautiful? What can you do to help make your Saturday beautiful? Hopefully the beautiful thoughts, images, tasks outweighs the not so beautiful. Apart from the beautiful things today may have in store for you, I hope you think of yourself
as beautiful and I don't mean merely an outward physical appearance. I mean your character, personality, thought, love, kindness, thoughtfulness etc. Inner beauty surely is a wonderfully beautiful thing to behold. You know what I am going to say don't you? - God is beautiful and He thinks you are too. He is never wrong so believe it and enjoy your beautiful Saturday in that knowledge and truth. Repeat the mantra - 'l am beautiful
and so is today'.

PRAYER: Lord God, you are in my Saturday so how can today not be beautiful, thank You. Thank You for loving me and believing in me. Thank You for the beauty around me and the pleasure it brings. Amen
FRIDAY 22 MAY
Good morning all, the word beginning with the letter Z in my alphabet challenge is ZOOM. At the moment the word Zoom is being used more and more in our vocabulary. It's not that we are zooming about all over the place going from shop to shop - queues prevent us from doing that. It's not that we are zooming from one job to the next or socialising etc... it's not as the dictionary says to 'move along very quickly or rise rapidly'
But it does mean we can very quickly tune in to family, friends, work, colleagues. teachers, conferences... using the zoom app many of you may have downloaded and used. It enables you to see as well as hear the people you are interacting with, whether for professional or personal reasons. There are a few different apps being used at this time helping with communication. I have some good news for you - you don't need a zoom app or any other app for that matter to communicate or get in touch with God. He was in the business of IT and communications long before these apps were ever invented. It's called prayer. Best zoom conference ever!! He will always listen, He will always answer, He looks forward to hearing from you. Now you might be thinking, yes that's great but I can't see Him ( like I can with zoom) even though He can see me...well I would challenge you today to think about if that's true or not. Where can you 'see' God at work day and daily? That's your challenge for today and I am confident you will zoom/rise to the challenge

PRAYER: Father God may I always be willing to zoom right into the heart of prayer with You and thank You that when I do You are always at the other end accepting my call. Today may I feel blessed as I think about all the ways I see you at work in my life and in the world. Amen
CHORUS: kids chorus
I may never march in the infantry
Ride with the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I may never zoom over enemy
But I'm in the Lord's army
I'm in the Lord's army (yes, sir)
I'm in the Lord's army (yes, sir)
I may never march in the infantry
Ride with the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I may never zoom over enemy
But I'm in the Lord's army
