Busy, busy...

Today was a fast one! We had three full run-throughs of our program, getting it ready for this weekend's performances.

At lunch we had a special treat:

FISH SANDWICHES!

Oh, yes. Those are real fish between those loaves. (But no, he didn't really eat it!)

Most of our kids didn't want to get too close to the smelly stuff.

Instead, we had pizza for lunch.

Since it was our last day of KidSONG, our guppies (volunteers' children) got together for a group picture:






All our guppies had a great week, and we're so thankful for the volunteers who took care of them so their moms could work with the older children.

All around the building, it was just work, work, work, getting last-minute tasks taken care of before Saturday night.

It's going to be a great show! Don't miss it!

It's Thursday already!

This week has just flown by! It's hard to believe we have just one more full day to prepare for the weekend performances.Our musicians spent more time on the stage today in addition to their other activities. From the devotional with Jamba to our afternoon entertainment to craft time, it was a full day of fun.




Our family minister led our morning prayer.

After lunch it was time for our afternoon entertainment: the amazing Jeff Plake, juggler and Yo-Yo expert. He started by explaining how to juggle.

He also demonstrated his technique.


Jeff took a break from juggling to show us some amazing Yo-Yo tricks.


When our guest asked for a brave volunteer, he had plenty of willing audience members.
He chose one calm, cool hombre who was certainly brave!




Getting back to juggling, he pulled out a ping pong ball, a tennis racquet and a bowling ball. He even had one of our kids make sure it was a real bowling ball.

Yes, it was heavy!

Then he took on the racquet, an apple and a knife.

The he juggled three apples, taking bites out of each.



After Jeff's demonstration, he let the kids try their hands at juggling.






Later it was time for our daily craft.



Through all of these activities, our KidSONG participants are learning about how much God loves us and how we can share God's love with others.

What a Wednesday!

It was another busy day for KidSONG! We rehearsed and rehearsed, even getting on stage for the first time. Plus, it was bounce house day!

Among the highlights:
