This week was extra crazy as we experimented with stations
for the first time! Rather than having one
task for each group, we had 5 tasks for each group and rotated them. This week we had two special projects and we
wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to help out. The first project was making art for the
greenhouse door. The door is specially
designed to be able to display paintings and drawings, and we want to be ready
for when it is completed. Stop by
sometime soon to take a look!
The second special project was decorating the sanctuary for
Día de los Muertos,
or Day of the Dead. This holiday, which
originated in Mexico, commemorates friends and family members who have passed
away. Relatives gather on this day to
honor the deceased by building ofrendas, or private altars, and decorating them
with pictures, flowers, candy skulls, and food. We
decorated the church with these things and more.
The other stations included work like putting stamps and
addresses on the soon-to-be-mailed newsletter, recycling our abundance of
cardboard, setting up for Wednesday Night Alive, cleaning the nursery, and
several other important tasks.
