Wednesday Elementary Class

We're blessed with so many kids on Wednesdays, that we have divided the pre-teen class into two groups. This Wed. was our first week to meet. Cody Holland will be teaching one group and I'll have the other.
I had the pleasure of having the younger group this week-- we are starting a series of "Fruits of the Spirit" (Gal. 5:19-24). The opening activity, I had the kids try to eat a dill pickle covered in unsweetened lemonade flavor kool-aid. It was a mouth pucker for them, as evidenced in the photos!!

The winner: Jordan Lawson!

Youth Sunday

Main Street had a Youth Day Sunday, September 21. We had lunch in the annex following services (chili dogs!) and had some open play in the gym, followed by a devotional. finally, we went to Campus Cove Bowling Center-- they opened just for us! We had a fun afternoon together. We had 34 children plus adults in attendance.

We had a devo in the gym-- this was the opener-- the kids had to hold hands-- here they see me taking a photograph and they dropped the hand-holding!

Drake, Luke, and KJ are confident in their masculinity and kept holding hands!

The game was the young kids against the older kids-- the older kids won 5-1.

Wednesday Pre-Teen Class

My Wednesday class included a game called "Sock Thief" (see below) and a lesson over Eph. 4:11-12. We read a skit together called "The Carpenter." Here Gatlin reads his part with Mallory and Canyon.

"Sock Thief" was a fun game that started the evening off on our theme to be disciples-- building up (edifying) instead of tearing apartt.

Some of the group watched...

Luke Wall was the winner-- he collected the most socks

Amber Wilkins was a close second
Andrew Coker got his socks back!
