Tonight at Kingdom Kids we put on a talent show, organised by our Junior Soldiers, Ben, Chelsea, Rebbecca and Hannah for all the parents, carers, friends and family to raise money for the Annual Appeal. Our aim was £40, but amazingly we raised £102.00!! This will go towards Ashford Salvation Army Christian Centre's aim to raise a total of £6,000 for the annual appeal.It was an amazing night, full of laughter, fun and joy. So many people turned up in support, which was brilliant.
All the children and young people were fabulous and there talents were brilliant!!
A lot of the children and young people sang songs from High School Musical. High School musical has a really good message about being yourself no matter what others say!
Today those children and young people stood up and did a Talent, something they feel that they are good at. People watched them and they all let them be themselves no matter how bizzarre, strange, good, funny their talent was, They were accepted!
One of the songs from the film is called breaking free, the song talks about trying your best, no matter what the world sees, who they think you are.
'You know the world can see us, in a way that’s different than who we are'
But the song goes on to say that you can be yourself, you can break free from, labeling, peer pressure or prejudice.
'We’re breaking free,
We’re soaring, Flying.
There’s not a star in heaven
That we can’t reach
If we’re trying
Yeah, we’re breaking free'
I really like this song because it is a really nice happy song, but also because it's message is more than what it seems at first.
You know that God says 'I will break you free and we will soar and fly. You can reach Heaven, if you try, with my help!'
'But your faith it gives me strength,
Strength to believe'
God, The Father's faith in me, gives me strength to try and to believe that I can do all He has planned, all He has asked of me... He has the faith and believes that there's not a star in heaven that I can't reach, with Him!
