MARCH KIDS' DEVOTIONAL AND GET-TOGETHER

This month's kids' get-together took place today at 5 PM at the home of Roger and Jackie Sherwood. After everyone arrived, the kids sat themselves down at the two picnic tables outside and since planting season is soon upon us, they started planting the seed. And as you probably already guessed, Randy taught the kids a lesson on the Parable of the Sower. Each child was given one clay pot, a small baggie of potting soil, a plastic spoon, and a pack of seeds. It was also explained to them that from one little seed, if fed and watered and nurtured, a beautiful much larger flower would grow, much like themselves. Afterwards there was enormous amounts of food to eat, which we did eagerly, and then young and old alike just "played." Those in attendance were, in no particular order, Randy M., Evan, Collin, John, Michael, Randy H., Vickie, Kara, Graham, Scott, Cathy, Aubrey, Selvie, Hannah, Jordie, Chris, Amanda, McKayla, Christopher, Sandy, Joann, Paul, Leyna, Logan, Roger and Jackie. 26 in all, what a great turnout!!
