Children's Day 2008

We celebrated Children's Day at Church yesterday. Our young people took over the service and we watched as they presented a couple of short dramas and did some readings. The kids also sang three songs including "the Bible Song," "Our God is so Mighty" and "Halleluia." The theme for the day was "God's Power!"

About fifteen minutes into the service the power went out and we finished up like they did a hundred years ago. We continued without the sound system and without lights or audio visual. The Praise team came out from the Junior Choir loft and led us in singing a couple of real cute songs. IT didn't hurt them. We had given Adele the day off so Cynthia Strouse and Lori Lord had already planned to use the piano instead of the organ so we didn't miss a beat there either.

The only class to really lose out was the Junior High class. Their presentation wasn't able to take advantage of the music and video that was going to support it. They ended up reading the passages the old fashioned way and had to let the words paint images in the hearers imagination instead.

Madalyn and Conner Fishkin received awards for perfect attendance and about 18 others received excellent attendance awards.

Paige Briggs received a Bible as part of her promotion from second grade to third grade and Jared LaFlamme, Amy Ketcher and Rachel Lord received Bibles in recognition of their eight grade graduation.

Special thanks to Sandy Stone, Lori Lord and Fran Rogers who helped lead the service.

Here are some more photos for you to enjoy.
