I (Sal) wasn't able to be here (was in the cities for family "stuff"), but here was the report: We had about 3 guests and 10 volunteers to listen to an "excellent" guest speaker-Reverend Larry Campbell (see evangelifecenter.com) of Waupaci, Wisconsin. He is a missionary for Special Touch. The recorded offerring was $1.
On Saturday, May 5th of 2007-We had about 27 consumers/residents/clients, staff/caretakers, and adult-youth volunteers at this month's event. We sang some old favorites (e.g. "Deep & Wide").
Below are the different activities (not in order) we did throughout the day.
-Arts&Crafts: Fishing Boat
clients and volunteers too made styrofoam boats with colorful construction paper on straws as make-shift sails (see down below)
-Snack Time (w/fish crackers w/ A&W Root Beer-regular or diet)
-Tim (youth pastor of Hossana Worship Center) gives a message on the 5-10,000 fed in Sermon on the Mound from Matthew 14
Games:
-Boat
Styrofoam boats the clients made and then test it on the river (roof gutters)
-Fishing Wheel
volunteers assist clients with the fishing poles to catch a prize
-Digging for the worm (gummy) in the dirt (crackers)
