Partyin' At Ja Rurat

We made the decision heading into 2009 that the last Sunday of every month, we'd have a small party for the kids at Ja Rurat. The regular Bible story, but after that, just games and snacks. Today was party day!




Teaching an age-appropriate version of the story of David and Bathsheba. The focus was on the fact that all of us sin, even David, but that when we seek his forgiveness, God is quick to forgive.



Ah Jan Vee leads a game.



Connected kids.



Fern is the girl on the far left. A little older than the others, she had quit coming, but I have been after her to come back when I see her in the community. Last week, she came and helped the adults paint, but today she showed up and participated. I felt like we needed something to make her feel wanted and needed, so I gave her my camera and asked her to be my official photographer. A quick lesson in how to do it and she was taking photos everywhere. The rest of today's Ja Rurat photos were taken by Fern.



Ah Jan Vee had the brilliant idea to have photos from the past few weeks printed as actual photographs. The kids love looking at their own faces. Next week, we'll use them to make posters we can hang in the commons area where we meet, and back at church.



Lots of snacks.


That hit the spot!

Thank you, God, for a fun day!

Amen!
