Bible School at St. Bart’s

McCanless and I are both in bible school this week! I signed up as a volunteer, and expected to have to drop off a crock pot of taco meat, or a dozen cupcakes or so. Turns out, I wear a big blue Jewish robe, have a tribe of 8 pre-teen boys and a girl or two each night that I “lead” throughout a mock Jerusalem marketplace. It really is fun and McCanless is having a ball, even if she is in the nursery. They peek out every so often to sing with the group and walk around watching the “big kids.”

McCanless and her friend, Nancy Jane (NJ) are the only 2’s in the group. They get to have their dinner in the nursery and decide when they want to join the rest of the bible schoolers in the parish hall. Most of the time, they would rather play in the nursery. Tonight they made two big lumpy balls out of brown clay. I’ll definitely have to find a place to showcase her first bible school art project.

I’ll have to get more pictures from the church. There was a sweet one taken of McCanless and Nancy Jane singing with the big kids and copying their arm movements. They stood in awe and tried so hard to do what everyone else was doing.
