Have I ever told you how awesome our Sunday school class is?

We had a dedication ceremony last Saturday to celebrate the ground breaking of the building site. Part of the celebration was a program by the children.

I guess I should start at the beginning. The Family that had donated some funds for FeMorZa wanted to see the community and the site so we decided to have a party.

We had the children make giant posters to decorate the walls, they also made the programs to hand out. We really focused on the children because that is what this was about, so while it was not a real sophisticated setting it was a heartfelt one.

Jennifer was our host and started by welcoming the Palmetto church of Christ from South Carolina. Next came the stars of the show.

Out Sunday school class. They were all dressed in new yellow and blue shirts and carried yellow flowers. They have been practicing for a
While and were nervous and excited. They started of saying "God is good, all the time, All the time, God is good" in Spanish and in English. Next came a few songs including head, shoulders , knees and toes in English and This is the Day in Spanish and finally in English with everyone joining in. I tell you what I was so pleased at the proud looks on their little faces when all of the "gringos" where clapping for them.

Next I watched as each one of them gave their flower and a hug to a very sweet lady Mrs. Phyllis Claypoole from the church in South Carolina( they loved her white hair).

They finally went to sit in their seats for the rest of the program. They were terrific. Yes sure we had a few glitches such as Mercedes and Christian beating each other with flowers and one of the mothers talking to her son(telling him to untuck his shirt) during the middle of the program, but that is part of what makes us who we are, just a big family. Not perfect, but happily doing our best.

Next came a few words from some mothers who were literally shaking in their shoes. They spoke of what a difference it will make in their lives to have a safe place for their children to go and learn so that they can get a job to support themselves and not have to constantly beg for food.

The English class quoted 1st Corinthians 13:13 from memory.

Finally I blundered my way through a thank you speech, we presented each other with photos and then we prayed for a bountiful feast prepared for us by the ladies at the Manna Project since five in the morning. The food was really amazing and I believe that everyone enjoyed it.
It was a long and wonderful day with laughter, praises, singing, joy, tears, hope and love.


Yep my kiddos did great but as always we give God the glory.
