Photo Courtesy This week our church is wrapping up our AWANA program for the year. I have served as the Sparks Director (grades K-2) for about eight years. I must admit, in the wintertime, when the sun goes down at 4:30pm I have to drag myself out of my snuggly warm house to get in my car, drive the thirty miles on icy roads, and duke it out with the bitter wind to walk from my car to the church building--can you hear me grousing? As I step in the door and look about, everything changes as the dance of little feet and music of young voices begins. Photo Courtesy I blink away the snowflakes, blow my runny nose, and see the children hopping, squealing, tagging, chatting, and giggling in the foyer. A few run up to me…."Miss Mary…" and the first story of many for the night is told. The little ones flitter about as I hang up my coat and fish out my ID badge from the bucket. Once a boy or girl has shared their important news...
Exciting coffee break stories and more!
