The weather was good for outside games and the children made the most of it. Mr and Mrs. Mandirola had their hands full directing children in a range of ages through the over-sized clothes relay race and the sack race. Some needed lots of help and others didn’t. Then there was a ball game. How could there not be.
The party moved inside for songs with motions with Mrs. Jones and a fun skit about Noah. Pastor Jones dressed up as Noah and spoke the key words of comfort, “Don’t be afraid, God cares for you. He will take care of us!” JoAnne Jones narrated and the children manned the boat using puppets as the animal characters. The craft had rainbow streamers to remind the children of the sign of the rainbow that God gave to Noah, a sign of his continuing love and care. The attached card reminded them, “God cares about you!” Dottie Plunske and Carol Griffin helped serve supper to the children. Thanks to Lisa Griffin and the Jones for some pictures.
