Philip proudly stood up and showed everyone his drawing of an elephant. Surprisingly, it was quite good, better than I could have done. It actually looked like an elephant.
Others were just as excited to show their work. From grandparents to the youngest child, we were all challenged to draw, create in clay, or just help someone else with their idea to represent our favorite part of God’s creation.
That was last night when we launched “Fun in the Son” which begins at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday evenings. We watched videos of creation, heard a dramatic reading, and just had fun as a family. Some came by themselves and adopted families; others just formed their own family with friends they recognized from Church. All in all, it was a wonderful time, and from the oldest to the youngest, we all saw this as a time of bonding and great fun.
One of the greatest gifts we can give our children, and we can receive ourselves, is the gift of community. In this day and age, our children and youth rarely have an opportunity to become exposed to the adults of their Church. Anything that can bring us together as a Church family should be encouraged, supported, and attended. Everyone benefits when all the ages of our Church are connected to each other.
Sunday the 26th, the staff is putting together videos, skits, music, readings, and projects around the subject of Noah. Now that should be interesting.
Just say YES!
