Special Music

The teens at our church occasionally sing a song for special music. Sunday was the first that they've done it since Sarah was in the teen group (technically junior high group, but they are together on Sundays)

Pinewood Derby Race

Our church had a pinewood derby race, their first ever. The four kids had fun getting their cars ready. Emily's car was almost an ounce over the limit. I drilled out and shaved off wood and it didn't make any difference in the weight! Finally, we got out a belt sander and shaved off the bottom of the block of wood. We painted the cars and Emi's car was overweight AGAIN! So we drilled 4 holes in the bottom with a spade bit.

They had four categories: Primary (K-2), Junior (3-5), Teen (6-8), Adult (9th grade and over).

Andy is P3, William J1, and Emily J2

Sarah is T3

Emily's car and awards

Andy didn't get any awards which was pretty distressing for him. He was actually the 3rd fastest car in his category, but since he was in the fast heat, he got eliminated and the winning car from the slow heat (Which barely made it down the track) got 3rd place. Emily gave him one of her 2nd place ribbons.

Frazor Evangelistic Team

Our church recently had the Frazor Evangelistic Team for a week of meetings.  Here are some of the events from that week:

Friday, the kids did a short program:

The kids weren't the quietest or calmest during the song I decided to record of the Frazor Team singing.

Church Building Project: Building Dedication

Sunday we had a dedication service for the new Fellowship Hall.  There are a few more little things that need to be finished, but for the most part, it is finished and praise God, without incurring debt or having to get a loan!
