Just a little behind in the updating

Sunday, January 11
Church this morning focused on the boy Jesus.
Lunch was sandwiches.
We had a great time fellowshiping with church members.

At Kira Kira the lesson was on the 12 spies. We had grapes for a snack to go along with the theme of the story. The kids played a big spy/tag kind of game. We had the kids draw how God protects them. This time was fun, but exhausting. Three of the kids stayed long after Kira Kira Kids was over, they seem to feel very comfortable here. I was a little surprised that while we were playing a game outside to see their parents pulling into their driveway. I was a little floored that they had left their kids with us and never said a thing to us about being gone.

Sunday, January 18
Church was just the family, and we had a nice time of singing songs. The boys could pick all the songs they wanted. they happily sang each song. Then we read from Ephesians 2 and had a very nice discussion.

Kira Kira Kids proceeded as usual. The three that I have come to call my second set of kids came. They came calling right at 3pm. I wasn't sure that they would come since no one was outside and no one reminded them about the meeting, but they came on their own. I am pleased to see that they may be regular. Now to get them to invite friends.

This week was about Rahab helping the spies. We had no special snack, but enjoyed some maple cookies that I had been given. We braided together a red cord to be used as a book mark or a bracelet. The cord reminds us of how Rahab acted in faith and held the Israelites. We played a game where an object was hidden and the kids had to find it.
