God is so good! Two buses we needed to bring ALL of the children to Kids' Connection. 70 children walked through the doors on Thursday and blessed us with their smiles and their excitement. Our volunteers were on board with hugs, smiles, rice krispie bars, juice and fun activities!! The children and volunteers decorated blank puzzle pieces to show that we are 'connected' to each other as people of God.
The Bible story for the 3rd-5th grade children was about blind Bartimaeus found in Mark 10:46-52. In this story Jesus touches his eyes and and he is healed of his blindness. I asked if anyone would like to volunteer to be Bartimaeus and a precious girl jumped up! I retold the story and at the end of the story, she shouted, "I can see!" It was priceless!
New toys were displayed in the doll/dress up room, Aaron, BreElle and Reese mastered the Domino Rally game, 3 new crafts were out on the tables and clipboards were available for children to sign up for baking cookies, making apple pies and learning how to sew on a sewing machine.
All children, K-5th grade, are welcome to join us at Kids' Connection . Just a reminder: All children must fill out a Child Information Form available at the First Reformed Church office or at our church website at www.frcoc.org.
