New Children's Church/ Youth Room

This past Saturday the kids, myself and another lady who works in the church fixed up an old garage near the church to use for Sunday School, Children's Church and Youth group meetings.

Cameron and Hannah did a great job taking out trash, moving small boxes and cleaning up some used children's chairs that we found.

The room was painted, the ceiling repaired and painted, we found some rugs to lay down and a pick nick table we cleaned up as well to use. It turned out quite nice. The added plus is that the garage doors open up, so that on the hot days we have some good airflow coming through.

We got it fixed just in time on Saturday for my first real youth meeting. It went really well. We had 18 kids show up, which I am told is good. It is normally only around 4 kids that come on Saturday's. This is because the Boarding School kids are not allowed to come to church on Saturday's, only on Sunday's. This is why we have the Wednesday Bible studies at the Boarding Schools.

Kristen and I started a children's church this Sunday as well with the 6 year old and under. We had over 25 kids in our new room. The first of the month is communion Sunday, so we showed them a video of the Easter Story and explained what communion is and why we (the church) have it every month. The kids seemed to enjoy it, and were amazed to watch a movie in our garage. I was able to purchase a portable projector a year ago and it works well here with taking it places for times like this past Sunday. I will be using it to show the youth the "Passion of Christ" in the next few weeks.

Here are some pictures of the new room!

Blessings to all!
