Paint with Tape

 Yesterday, I got a grainy image of the guessing jar.  Today we painted with tape.  Have you heard of color with stickers?  Painter’s tape is cheaper.

Little angels…

 I had to share one adorable image.  The kids take turns dressing up for prayers.  BTW we dress up when we act out skits, too.  I had used little garments; they were unnecessary.  The kids want wings, halos, crowns, and swords.  The little girl is green was oohing and aaahing over her class mates.  They all want to dress up!

Cathletics Day 2

 Caught a few images to share with you….

Mini Mass Book Service Project

 The kids are making mini Mass books for kiddos.  I have a bunch of blank books.  We’re adding stickers, scavenger hunts, little drawings to color, etc.  Teens have cut out images from left-over church calendars and religious goods catalogs.  This week, the older kids are making a bunch of mini-books as possible as a service project.  We’re doing the entire lesson.  However, when we finish, the kids work on their Mass books.  We’re trying to give small tikes an appropriate booklet.  All of us have seen families hand kiddos a tablet or cell phone during Mass.  We want to help kiddos keep their focus on the Lord.  I will try to remember to get photos of the booklets as they complete them.

Cathletics!

 We just started VBS!  This year we’re doing Cathletics.  Our church implemented VBS nine years ago with Cathletics.  My job is Faith Leader.  I help kids get enthused at the beginning and end of VBS.  I use a lot of chants and cheers.  This week, I’ll try to get more images from other stations.  Here are a few from Faith set-up.  I like to have a ton of hands-on materials when I teach.  Cathletics has daily Bible Story skits to act out.  We dress up the young kiddos as the Guardian angel, St. Michael, and the Blessed Mother before prayer.  I’ll try to get a better photo.
