Last year, we hosted the Fall Festival at our church for the first time. The team from Thailand helped us and everyone had a great time. Ever since then, the kids have asked if we would have another Fall Festival this year. So we were thrilled when we found out that the FBCA team would be coming in October- perfect time to host the Fall Festival!
They brought SO many prizes (thanks to all the Sunday School classes and individuals who donated these items!) for the kids. Also, Remey did a great job getting ready for all the fun games and activities.
We started the festival with a prayer and welcome speech by our pastor, and then our students sang English songs!
Russell and Remey did a great job leading the songs.
Then Michael shared a story about Jesus as Lance curved a pumpkin. He talked about how Jesus removes the bad things from our heart when we ask Him to come into our heart and He puts a light in our heart. And we shine that light so that others can know about Him. We pray all the children will remember this story.
Kids were focused the entire time and looked so happy when they saw a light in the pumpkin!
We hope you can see all the excitement from the following photos!
