CamParable Pathfinders

We have a fantastic series of parables that we've studied since the beginning of the year. With the Sunday School Exams drawing near, many of us have been visiting church for some extra coaching classes to help us prepare. If you recall our studies were kicked off well and truly by our CamParable. The parable we used as a base for all we did at camp - was that of the sower. So as you can imagine our groups named themselves accordingly. Red - 'Red Roots', Blue - 'Pathfinders', Green - 'Green Fertilisers' and yellow...can you help me remember please (leave in a comment).

At CamParable we were given the opportunity to complete an item that would be part of the Rally on Saturday evening. These were run by members of our open class(great to see young leadership in action). Four groups in total covered prayers, creative dances, skits and a singing or rap number. We've posted here the rap and song that was created and performed by our blue group - the 'Pathfinders'. You will hear a familiar tune accompanied by some original lyrics and dance moves.

We hope this little movie helps you with your preparations for the upcoming NZ Sunday School Union Scripture examinations.

Hopefully at the time of - Tam talent DVD release - we'll be able to have CamParable ready too.

Don't forget to leave the Pathfinders a comment!
God bless. Be of good soil, good soil, good good....

Sunday School Camp 2009

CamParable was held at the Presbyterian Hunua Falls campsite. As per our previous camps, the theme was taken from our Sunday school curriculum - this year being the parables of Jesus. We paid particular emphasis on The Parable of the Sower - the story being incorporated into all facets of our weekend including our sports, rally night and devotions & Bible study sessions.
Camp is always a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time away from our normal surrounds and in the company of our fellow Sunday school members. Truly a time to enjoy the green and lush settings of Hunua along with the fantastic activities. Have a look at our photos of the campers in action!
