Children's Day

Each year all the churches here give a Sunday over to the children. They do
the preaching (That's Caleb), the worship music, some Bible quizzing and
some memory verses, and usually a drama or two. The children take a
collection and offer something to the church. This year they gave a bit
over $15 for a new microphone. Everyone usually shares a Coke, or "mineral"
as we say here. The kids did a great job. Pastor John prays over them,
blessing them for the year. We are always amazed that the first
thanksgiving and blessing is for life. "Thank you that many have died, but
these children live to see another year. Bless them with protection over
their life in the coming year, that none would die."
