Kids showed up this morning dressed as Egyptians! Do you know what a thrill it is to see these young’uns ‘buying’ into this? They want to dress the part so they can be more of a part of it all. What a wonderful opportunity for us to draw them into the story and make it all the more real for them! We are looking forward to seeing how many more kids show up tomorrow morning looking like they came from Egypt!
This evening, Emily Etzel and Madison Vermilya gave the report on our trip before 450 people! I (Pastor James) couldn’t be more proud of them! They both spoke the truth, and did so without hesitation. It was really pretty cool to see that go on!
Tonight, we are doing the ‘usual’ Appalachia weekday evening activities: going to Wal-Mart for supplies and then to Sonic to feast on sugary goods and spend time with the other groups. It is a rite of passage to do this!
Tomorrow afternoon, our playground crew (Pastor Tom, Denny Robertson and Tracy Schroeder) will be here and begin their part of this mission work. The church and children are excited about this, and we are looking forward to seeing this work done!
