What a joy-filled week we had at Kids' Connection! Lisa Laird introduced the fruit of JOY to us with her puppet, Jemima, a two year old dragon who was having a bad day! Jemima had found a penny on the sidewalk and everyone at 'daycare' laughed at her because it was only a penny. Lisa and Jemima reminded us that a penny is valuable and it reminds us to trust in Jesus. The children at Kids' Connection went home with a penny as a reminder! Then we were surprised by Ron De Jong and his team of BIG horses. Ron hitched up his team to a hay wagon and loaded 35 children and volunteers at a time for a ride downtown. It was like being in the Tulip Festival Parade in November!!
On Thursday, we learned about a 'Bag of Joy.' The children were encouraged to write down things that made them feel joyful and put them into the 'Bag of Joy.' We decorated the bags with glitter, glitter and more glitter!
Many thanks to our faithful bus drivers. I had the privilege of riding the BIG bus to the elementary school on Thursday. What fun it was to see the children running to the bus with big smiles and hugs! Without these dedicated men, we would not be able to provide this convenient and safe service to our children. So...thanks John, Brian, Pastor Mark, Pastor Stan, Bob, Roger and Dale!!!
In the week ahead, we will be making Thanksgiving crafts and celebrating America on Veteran's Day. Two Veterans are coming to Kids' Connection to fold the flag and talk to us more about what it means to be a Veteran! God bless America!!
