Global Outreach Weekend & Moday's Paintings

Our church had its "Global Outreach Weekend" this past weekend and on Saturday there was an International Family Festival & Taste of the World Food Fair. We spent the afternoon there and had a great time visiting each country, making crafts, tasting food from around the world, and learning more about our missionaries and what they do.

A Passport photo...
Learning to write the Chinese Characters for the words "Lamb" and "Me" and the character for "righteousness". You make the word righteousness by drawing the "lamb" over the word "me". The Lamb covers me- Righteousness!
Drinking Coke out of a plastic bag with a flimsy straw...how it is served on the street in Latin America.

The kids got to play some African Drums. It was a fun and educational afternoon!

This week's paintings... it's called "Grey Winter"...they are a little dark and depressing to me... they promised something colorful and light next week!
