The last night of midweek classes

We recently completed our midweek classes for the year.  It was a busy year, and the kids learned a LOT.  I always love hearing them sing the books of the Old and New Testament, and learning the liturgy and some hymns, along with Bible stories and Lutheran theology, doctrine and practice.  You should all be really proud of our young people!

We celebrated our last night of classes with the younger kids trying a new version of tie dying.  It was SOOO cool!

The kids worked together to help each other put cups inside of a t-shirt, and then secure them with rubber bands.

Then they used Sharpie brand markers and drew pictures/designs inside the circles.

Then, we dropped 8-10 drops of rubbing alcohol on each design.

And then we watched the design spread.

We ended the night with a game of sorting flash cards with books of the Bible.  The kids had to sort them into Old and New Testament books.  THEN they had to put them all in order!  There was LOTS of singing going on, because almost all of them know the books of the OT and NT because of the song they’ve learned.  It was great fun to watch!
