To go along with our experiment of moving SHINE to the mornings, we decided to do something special for Sunday School on 5th Sundays. “SPARK” is a Sunday School program where kids meet together for music and crafts instead of splitting up into age groups and different classes. Here is what “guest blogger” Jeana had to say about today’s SPARK debut.
We had our first Spark program today and it went really well. Spark is a program for children ages 3 – 8th grade that incorporates worship, drama, activities and crafts. We had two new little girls from the neighborhood visit us today. Denise helped them get familiar with the Nursery while I got set up for Spark. We started off by singing VBS songs. Then I read the “Jellybean Prayer.” Little did I know that our craft leader Ginger had made the craft about this prayer. The prayer was on printed on a cross and the kids glued paper jellybeans to it. God worked all this out so it would go together well. We sang a great version of “Were You There” one of the little girls was sitting on Amy’s lap while Amy did the motions for her. It was so sweet. Brooke, Amy, Christina and Jordan also helped the little ones with the movements and crafts. At the end, all the kids got their own jellybeans to take home with their jellybean cross. I heard the girls run up to their father saying “Daddy, daddy, look what I made.” What a great way to reach someone for Christ!
