And quite an adventure it was.
123 children over 3 days. If you dislike children, it was a mad house. But if you love them, it was precious! And since I wasn't in charge of anything other than the worship session, it was precious - to play with the kids, the mess around and kacau kacau (I helped lah). They were adorable. Well most. There are those spoil brats I cant stand. There's always a few in the lot. This year was unique from other years. The effort put in this year was huge. Altogether there were 60 odd helpers and volunteers (teachers, cook, helper, games, worship team, etc). The classroom decoration was first class. There was a mock river with bushes and all in the "Miriam" class; a mock furnace in "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego" class; 2 chariots in "Elijah" class; a bed and candles in "Samuel" class; and a miniature wall of Jericho with the red string in "Rahab" class. Teachers dress up for story time, craft was really something. Games were stolen ideas from youth meeting (*Sweat* It helps to explain that the youth helpers came up with them)
It's like wow. All that effort.
What else can I say? We are truly a blessed church - with so much talents and willing hands. May God used us in many more ways to reach the community for Him.
Children are a gift from God. But dont ever underestimate them. People always tend to underestimate and look less of children. Big mistake man!
