Lots of energy in the place today. The younger kids (K-4th) numbered 253 today. We concentrated on learning music for family night tomorrow night. This church has done family night on Wednesday for several years to involve the usual Wednesday night crowd and that’s a good idea in and of itself but trying to learn new music in that short span is a daunting task. The kids are doing well, so we’ll see.
One of the songs for music class this year in the Lifeway (Saddle Ridge Ranch) stuff is a song entitled “Like Jesus”. In my opinion, one of the best songs Jeff Slaughter has written for VBS.
The last group I have for music class is 1st grade. When we finished, one little fellow raised his hand and said; “that song, “Like Jesus” makes me cry and big alligator tears showed up. I told him that listening to Jesus and wanting to be like him was the best thing he could do and to cry when singing that song to Him was just fine.
A really cool moment………
Thanks for the prayers,
