This semester, we decided to try an after school program at church on Wednesdays in place of Wednesday night church, which has had dwindling attendance. The program was a huge success! We had over 80 kids participate, many of whom do not go to church. We focused on learning The Lord's Prayer. Hannah can now recite it herself, which I was unsure if she'd be able to do at the beginning! We had crafts, games, snacks, small group, lesson, etc. It was kind of like a mini VBS!
I got to lead the K-1st girls small group, which was great fun because I got to be with Hannah and her friends. I loved getting to know these girls!We had some sweet 6th grade girls take care of the babies every week! I took Madelyn and Aleah with me!
The little girls adored Aleah too. They always wanted to hold her. You can tell she's a third child since I allowed this :)
The kids all got a certificate for learning The Lord's Prayer!
After the final day, Sandy and I got to eat the leftovers of the chocolate fountain. I love getting to do ministry with one of my best friends!
