The child's ministry team created a very fun Sunday for our kids with games during the first hour and packing and praying for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes the second hour. I went around with Xander's group to each room. The preschool and kindergartners played games with themes related to Bible stories they have learned about.
There was Goliath bean bag throw,
Noah's Ark relay race,
and Fisher's of Men fishing just to name a few.
The kids then gathered for a special snack and to watch a video about Operation Christmas Child. They then were able to decorate and pack their boxes.
They colored a picture to include in their shoebox. (On a side note Xander's coloring lately has blown me away. He has been paying very close attention to details lately and staying in the lines...super impressed.)
I bought too much stuff for one box, so we ended up with two. I really just love Operation Christmas Child.
Mr. Burkhard lead the kids in a pray over their boxes that the boys and girls who received them would get to hear about Jesus.
Here are the kids and the boxes they packed.
I am so grateful that Xander was able to participate in this this year. He had such a good time and I know everything that was done and said has made an impression on his heart. I am so thankful that we go to a church that teaches our kids about Jesus and his love in real ways.
