Shake It Up Cafe Wednesday Report
by Marguerite Priest
Another terrific day! The rain just made our spirits lighter! The children continue to learn from our amazing volunteer leaders and have fun while doing so! Tomorrow is the famous VBS Breadmaking day and all are looking forward to not only the wonder of creating the basic staple of life – bread, but passing this gift to another group of children. The story for today perfectly aligns with this craft. The children will be talking about the Passover this time as our LORD Jesus celebrates it with disciples for the last time. The focus of today’s activities are how we remember important events in our lives. Smell, touch and taste are all important ingredients in our process of remembering. As you remember the smells, tastes, sounds and ‘touches’ that bring memories flooding into your mind, remember that we are making memories today, indeed all this week, that will hopefully last the children their lifetime. We will also be helping them to understand the importance of the sacrament of Holy Communion. So, let us remember these things in prayer-Dear God, We remember you. We give thanks for all you have done for us and continue to do for us. Be with us as we guide these children of Yours to a more perfect understanding of You and help us to attain a higher level of understanding ourselves. Amen.
