Today after church most of the kids who went on the mission trip to Canada took turns telling tales about their trip while the congregation watched a slide show and ate pizza. Collectively, they made it sound better than E's personal recount. Seems like they did some good work, had a few glitches along the way with timing and traffic, but shared a lot of laughs too. I can't believe the one picture I took during the presentation was when the slide with a misspelling was being shown! Boarder crossing? Ugh. At least E had nothing to do with putting the slide show together. I was happy to see this group picture they had taken at Niagara Falls. E didn't take any pictures on the trip (is this really my daughter?) so I'll have to ask the adult chaperones to send me some of their photos so I can at least do one page in her scrapbook.
L got to participate in the children's moment today. Our education director, who leads the children's sermon, put an empty backpack on L and told her to run across the front of the sanctuary and back. Then she started loading bricks into the backpack of the things kids could be carrying around with them - fear, lies, etc. - and when she had it loaded up with about five bricks, she had L run across the sanctuary and back again. She was obviously slower that time. L put her theatrical face to work and the sermon was pretty cute (and, according to L, the backpack was pretty heavy!).
