I was asked to do a lesson for the Sunday School. I planned to teach on Father Abraham and God's promises to him. I was told for about 100 children ranging in ages from 3 - 15. Daunting, but I stepped up to the plate and had songs planned, a story, and a craft. As you can see while we sing "Father Abraham had many Sons", we actually had 200 kids in that small room with about 8 adults. Tight but amazing.
Here the kids are working on the craft. I had brought supplies for 100.........lucky that I had also brought construction paper to use as well. Each of the kids drew themselves, coloured their clothing, and then we taped them to the wall attaching them below the pictures done of Abraham and Sarah........all of us joined together by Christ's direct lineage to Abraham and our salvation through Christ.
Look how packed in we were. They each helped each other and shared the crayons....of which there were few.
How the little ones loved their pictures taken.
Look at these sweet faces.
After our lesson, we went outside, more room thankfully, and, with lots of bubbles, had the kids chasing and counting how many they could break.
We lasted only about 15 minutes of bubble playing before the rains came. The skies opened up and it poured and poured.
While we waited for the Church Service to finish (it was an extra long one as the Archbishop of Uganda was visiting) Evangeline played the drums with a few of the kids.It is amazing to me how God equips each of us for a very special purpose. That He can use ordinary people like Pat and I, and, with His extraordinary power, and our willingness to obey, great things happen in His name. This day was one great day for God.
Blessings to you all
