Awards Ceremony

Our 1st term of XLR8 is now done!  Boy that flew by quickly!  We had a great term learning about Heroes of the Faith.  The other leaders that I'm working with are just wonderful.  Each week we are acting out the stories and we have so much fun.  One day we had one of our girl leaders stuff her sweater with plastic shopping bags to be Goliath and stand on a giant chair.  The kids loved it and it was great!  Yesterday we held and XLR8 awards ceremony in church and honored all of our kiddos who have done such a fabulous job learning about heroes of the Bible and what faith means!  Next term we'll be focusing on parables and I am really looking forward to it!  Until then, here are some pictures from XLR8!  

Our XLR8 family!  We had a few missing for this picture.   
Goliath game.  The kids had to throw balls with velcro on them and hit Goliath on the head.  The loved it!

Crafts!  

Also, here is the link to our latest youth video!  We had a records night where the students fought to defend their own records, or beat a previous record.  Some of the events were: push-up contest, sit-up contest, who can eat a mintie (a mint candy) the fastest, milk drinking contest and a contest to see who could eat a Popsicle the fastest.  I must say the most impressive part of the night was when one of our students drank a liter of milk is 17 seconds.  We were all shocked!  The same kid put down a Popsicle in 27 seconds!
