It was another great night. We had the kids return for another night of fun and learning. We also had 5 adults in Bible study.
First the food. We had some great Chick Fil A chicken strips, thanks to Donna H and Sybil. Teresa M made some great macaroni and cheese. Then Joe brought in fried chicken, BBQ and all the trimmings, including banana pudding. We all had more than enough to start the evening.
Story 1 tonight was the 4 friends who took the paralytic to Jesus. It was fun watching the 4 kids try to drag Macy across the room to Jesus. It ended up with more than 4 friends to move her!
Story 2 was about Bartemaus, the blind man, that Jesus healed in Jericho. Marcia gave each child a coin to give to the blind beggar. Then then led him to Jesus.
For the adults, Allen led the Bible study about Solomon building the temple. We all learned why David wasn’t allowed to build the temple: He was a warrior and had shed blood. Solomon was still pure.
After the lesson, we put our faith in to action by putting together health kits. A health kit has a towel, washcloth, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, bandaids, finger nail clippers and a comb.
It didn’t take long to put them together. They were placed on the altar. On Sunday we will bless them and then pack them to be sent overseas. Tanya showed the kids the work that the adults did.
Checkers, the Cheetah, found a new friend in Bill tonight. They shared quite a conversation and Donna had to pull Bill away so that he didn’t miss the Bible study and kit construction.
Another good night. Don’t miss night 3, our last night.
