The theme for Service Emphasis Week this year is "We SEW love because God so loved."
What a great theme!
This year, we're again teaming up with the Sala Sala ministry group that we work with on Tuesday afternoons. The plan was to provide a pre-school experience for the 3-6 year old crowd from the rock quarry behind the school. These kids are usually just free to play, unsupervised, all day long....they don't have the opportunity to go to pre-school.
We made a list of goals for the Sala Sala kids and gave the 6th graders that we're working with a skeleton schedule and a list of activities to flesh out a bit. The HOPAC students are supposed to take some ownership and they did a great job coming up with a skit each day, songs to sing, a memory verse, etc. Enjoy the pictures...Day 1 of 3 is in the books!
Jen and Heather making the number cards for the kids so that they can "match" their number clothes pin to the number card. They got to take them home to keep practicing with them as well.
We started off with free play time at the park. They love to swing and use all the playground equipment at HOPAC that we take for granted.
On the Merry-go-round.
Fun on the slide.
Making friends already.
Juma loves to get his picture taken...in fact, they all do!
Climbing up the slide.
Sweet!
Man, Isa that face is classic and Juma, laughing at Jen.
The sixth graders really jumped in and connected with the kids.
The boys, trying to do the "tough look"...Isa, Tony, and Juma.
Team 1 was in charge today...they taught about how God created the earth, helped the kids to memorize Genesis 1:1, and many other things.
Doing some dance time fun!
More fun and dancing.
The little ones love to be picked up and cuddled, don't they Heather?
We did messy paint with their handprints and practiced counting to 10.
We had all the kids learn about and show us Tanzania on the globe.
We were working on scissor skills and did some leaf rubbings while talking about the plants that God created.
Here they are working on their numbers.
Snack time...water, juice, fresh fruit.
Yummy banana and watermelon.
Working on lace cards and putting together an ABC train puzzle.
More dancing fun at the end.
Coloring time and we were reviewing our numbers.
And, more dancing!
