Fun Fair

Leah LOVED the clowns!

Giving instructions for the night is Pastor Myles, our Childrens' pastor.



All year long, the kids go to Awanas on Wednesday nights. Each week they earn points for bringing their bibles, memorizing verses, and bringing show-and-tell items. Their points add up and can be spent at the annual Fun Fair and in the Awana "store". This past Wednesday was the fair and Jadon and Leah had so much fun. They played lots of carnival type games, ate fun food, and shopped in the store. They each had memorized extra Bible verses to earn tickets for raffle drawings. Leah's group doesn't have to memorize verses, but she does whatever Jadon does. At the end of the night, Jadon and Leah each won a raffle prize! Leah won a Baby Alive doll and Jadon won a Buzz Lightyear Lego kit and a tow truck. It was like Christmas morning for them. I feel so blessed to belong to a church that is able to do such nice things for the kids and make church such a positive experience. It isn't all about the stuff either. All the pastors and teachers are great and Jadon and Leah really are learning a lot about God and how He wants us to live.
