..........Our Cool Site..........

For Wednesday night fellowship we went inside the action to catch a glimpse of the action behind the fellowship doors of Rachel and Thomas /The Byers's House . We started off with a prayer and recitings of the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth...etc. Kelsey and I saw what no kid had ever seen before. We told our favorite verses like Job 18:5 and Ecclesiastes 7:13. We flipped to where we had last left off which was a few verses past where Cain killed Abel. We started reading about Noah's Ark (dun-dun!) and read and had opinions and questions about the story so far. After that we said prayers and assigned REPORTERS (a.k.a. Hannah and Kelsey ) for the week. We all went to go get snack provided by Brooke which was ice-cream sandwiches shaped like Noah's Ark.A couple of people got a little crazy with the ice-cream and started acting like French-men. Oh yeah! We also had some girls who dressed up in their colonial outfits since today was colonial day!

Thanks to Deb Harwell for a great Slide Show from Colonial Day at Carlisle, November 17, 2004. CHECK IT OUT!!!

1. First, the kids met at Thomas and Rachel's house with a whopping 18 kid crew mob.
2. The atmosphere at first felt like St. Peter's Cathedral.
3. When all the kids finally came in they were all quiet and calm...I wish!
4. How Eve really got Adam to eat the apple: She made it into appple pie and what man ever turned down an apple pie?
5. Did you know it is totally natural for brothers to fight even after they just became friends again.
6. Just to let you know all brothers have been fighting, even from the begging of time!
7. For all you kids, even Adam tattle-told on other people...animals too.

The snacks were great! Everybody liked them a whole lot. I thought the coyote cookies were pretty cool (does anyone want to buy a cookie cutter? My Mom has 10 left :>)). The chocolate cookies were the best ever!

We started out with a prayer, and welcomed two first time guests-Hannah and Zach. Several kids recited the books in the Old Testament. They did a great job! Then we reviewed about Jonah and the Whale. We talked about why we study the Bible and that we can always count on God, and our parent's love. Near the end we read the first couple chapters of Genesis. We had a great time last Wednesday.

The snacks this week were provided by Mallory Hayes. Our snacks were delicious chocolate chip cookies and Sunny D. Yummy!! Everyone enjoyed the snacks. Thank you Mallory, for the wonderful snack!!
