Mess Olympics 2009

Thank you to everyone who attended Mess Olympics 2009!! Ted and Linda, we appreciate you letting us tear up your yard!!

This year's event was saw bigger teams, more messes, and a lot of fun.

Congratulations to the blue/teal team for winning the event. While the event was declared a "tie", after watching this video you will see the lengths that the other teams went to in order to win.

I'm especially proud of the blue/teal team for their dedication to playing fair, and for ensuring that the spirit of fun remained far more important than winning.

Without further ado... here is the video:

Bible School 2009 Videos

Bible School is coming next week. Here are two videos that will be used at our church during lessons. Be sure to check out the Sunday School rooms this Sunday to see all the decorations and props that were created for this event.

Thanks to Robyn, Allison, Marshall, John and a few of their friends for their hard work in filming these illustrations.

The first video is the story of two broken items. A girl forgives her sister when her prized digital camera is broken, however that same sister doesn't forgive her own friend when she ruins her new CD.



The second video is the story of the ungrateful servant. The king forgives the debts of his servant, only to find that servant refusing to forgive someone who owed him a debt.
