Last night was our Harvest party at church. Every year we hold a carnival for kids to enjoy getting candy, playing games without being outside in the cold. Plus it's an opportunity to hear a gospel message.
We do it on AWANA night so kids will know that something happens on Wednesday nights that they can come to, but also a chance for our AWANA kids to get dressed up and get candy!
Typically we have about 65 kids at AWANA each Wednesday night. Last night we had 95 kids. Our gym was finally rebuilt after the snow storm of 2008 and this is the first year we've been able to hold it in the new facility. I actually lost part of my voice because you had to yell to talk to the person next to you.
It was fabulous.
I got to meet many of my kids's parents, D & E each had friends from school show up for the night and some people from the neighborhood just stopped in because they saw something going on. Not to mention Zoe got to jump in the bounce castle like 6 times!
It was an amazing night of fellowship and laughter. For months I've been praying that God would grow our AWANA group. Even though there is no guarantee that we will have an additional 30 kids show up next week, God answered my prayer last night.
