This past weekend the children of our congregation put on a special performance during the service. The performance of "Promise U." by Kathie Hill was the culmination of their week long MAD Camp. If you don't know what MAD Camp is (and I didn’t before I joined our church), it is a Music and Drama Camp. Children from the ages 7 to 13 spend a week putting together a performance for that Sunday’s service. The performance had a spiritual message and special learning for everyone.
At “Promise U.” the children learned about (and taught everyone about) some of the famous followers of Christ from the past 2000 years. From Martin Luther, to the Apostle Paul to Harriet Tubman the lessons of their spirituality were shared in a performance filled with great acting and song. As the students of “Promise U.” shared their message they helped their friend “Stan the Man” learn a lesson that made him stronger. “Valerie Dictorian”, “Marvelous Marty”, “Dee Caffeinated”, “Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La Ti, Do” and all the other students of “Promise U.” brought a special message to our service and a delivered wonderful performance.
“Promise U.” was a wonderful reminder for all of us of the special magic our children bring to our church. This year’s cast included: Matthew Stroud, Juliet Mooney, Jason Leland, Holly Anderson, Amanda Smith, Ashley Vaskovich, Hannah Aquirre, Jillian Hadley, Maiken Sorenson, Amanda Vaskovich, Jake Wood, Kennedy Wood, and Kyle Wood. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful performance and to Julie Draper for bringing it all together for all of us to enjoy.
