Easter Activities!

Hola everyone! Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I REALLY am going to try to write more. I just haven't been taking many pictures lately, and don't like to post without them! :)

This last weekend was packed with activities for those of us at the Iglesia de Cristo. On Saturday the college and high school students put on "The Bible Adventure!" We created a bible-times market place for kids. There were five stations: writing, music, baking, pottery, and carpentry. The kids were separated by age into five tribes and got to go to each station and learn about how people did things in the times when Jesus was alive. We also had a temple where the kids went to sing songs and see skits of bible stories. A great time was had by all, and there were over 50 kids in attendance, which means there were a lot of visitors! :)

As you can see from the picture above, I was a tribe leader for the tribe "Jose" which was 4 and 5 year olds. I had the smallest group (which worked out well for me!) and we had a great time! The kids absolutely loved the bakery station. They got to make bread dough and get really messy!


They also loved the pottery station where they got to make a plate, or really whatever they wanted, and paint! Camilo was the leader of this station and he did a great job!


Here's a picture of some of the kids in the temple, listening to a story from the Rabi.


And here's our Rabi, Ryan Newhouse, with his fiance, Claudia. I just wanted to include this because I thought it was a cute picture! :)


Our bible times market place even came complete with Roman Soldiers, like there would have been in the times of Jesus. Here's a soldier Christian Moore punishing Rodrigo.


All in all it was a great day! And the college and high school students all did a great job! I think everyone is looking forward to doing this even again next year! Because we did this the day before Easter it gave us a chance to invite the visitors to church on Sunday. There were quite a few kids that came to church on Sunday as a result of the Bible Adventure. :) After church on Sunday we celebrated as a church family with a picnic in the park and Easter egg hunt! Have I mentioned how great it is to have a park right outside the front door of the church? Well, it's great!

I'll leave you with a picture of Rodrigo and me after church in the park. I hope you all had a Happy Easter!!!
