Wii Fellowship was a Hit!



As Director of Children's Praise & Worship and Sunday School I have taken the position past normal church time and added elements of children's fellowship and outreach. The children and I have gone to Senior Apartments in the area to take them a special treat of songs, sweets and surprises which basically means we sing some uplifting songs, bring refreshments, and give them a child-made gift. And I started organizing times where the kids could fellowship away from regular church. Today's Kids Wii Fellowship started with a kid-friendly lunch of hotdogs, french fries, and peaches followed by some cupcakes in honor of Benjamin's birthday coming up this week and then a few hours of racing games. We had two Wii players set up with 4-player Mario Cart and another set with Hot Wheels on the Gamecube with 3 controllers. Everyone did a great job taking turns, playing fairly and making some crafts while they waited. I couldn't have pulled it off without the assistance of some awesome parents and youth that helped with serving, technical issues, settling the masses, and cleaning up, so a fabulous time was had by all.
