We held our second annual back-to-school kids’ carnival last Saturday, August 18. We had hoped we’d have about 30 kids, we had half that number. One lady saw our sign and dropped by with her son, but they took one look around and decided to leave. 😦 Terry got to give a short Gospel presentation to those in attendance, so that was a blessing. God’s Word never returns void! Our carnival wasn’t anything spectacular, no rides or funnel cakes, etc. It was geared for early childhood/elementary school age children. We had games, hot dogs, goody bags, a small wagon for the little ones to ride, and best of all, a dunk tank! Bro. Terry climbed in the dunk tank so everyone had a fun time trying to soak the pastor! 🙂 We had one guy who was dressed up like a sheriff, but he only stayed that way for about five minutes – I didn’t even get a photo! He’s the one who handed out the little mustaches in the photos below. 

A sweet lady in our church offered to do face painting!

All done!

We had a small shooting range in the back of the church.

I caught Leslie’s toss in mid air! 

Our little wagon ride.

I zoomed in to take another picture and Matt turned around just in time!

Behind the church – the wagon is way off in the distance, to your right in the photo above.

Matthew LOVED the wagon/mower! He sat on it even when it wasn’t moving. *aww*

Bro. Terry at the dunk tank!

The little ones enjoyed playing on the mower with Matt while the big kids did the dunk tank.

We were blessed with lovely weather, and a lovely time.
