Had a really great children worker's meeting this Saturday. We were discussing our annual Christmas outreach and this year we are getting the kids to do a play plus a bunch of songs and choreography. I found a skit online but wasn't sure if the others would like it as it isn't the traditional Christmas story, it's a sort of set like a TV show, with a host interviewing a panel about their views on the meaning of Christmas. It's really funny and full of characters like Mr. know-it-all and Mr. humble. I read it aloud at the meeting and everyone was cracking up by the end of it. Think it is going to go really well, we start rehearsals this Sunday at Church. It is definitely going to be more of a challenge that previous years as we now have well over 100 kids coming to church and we also now have two services which will make rehearsals very interesting. But I know it will all work out as it always does. Please keep it in your prayers, our outreach is the 22nd of December, where we'll invite a bunch of kids to come.
Another interesting thing happened on Saturday. Out truck had been parked outside all day as Jake had gone out in the morning. Then I left for my children's meeting. It is pretty far, all the way across the city, about a 50 min. drive. The place we had it at is also a really bumpy road. I was at the meeting for 2 and a half hours and then came all the way home again. When I pulled into the gate our dogs went mad with excitement as usual. Then when I got into the house they were still barking and jumping around the car. Jake went out to investigate and saw there was a little kitten under the car on top of the spare tire. Poor little thing was trembling and it took us a good 10 minutes to get her out (plus a few scraches). Then we realized it was our neighbour's kitten and must have climbed up there in the morning and gone with me all over town! I'm so glad it didn't jump off somewhere in the middle of town. Our neighbours were really happy to see her again.
