The Canadian Reformed congregation here in Taber has an outreach program they have done for years and years, focusing on the children and mothers from the community, and of course they invite church kids to come too. Its on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 till 11am for 3 to 5 year olds. I took Seth and Tristan this year, and it was a really nice way for them to learn and play as well as for me to meet some people from the community. There are around 40 children who attend, half from the church and half from outside the church.
The kids love it and can't wait to go every week. They come home with a little craft and colouring sheet. The "teachers" are ladies from the church and they do a wonderful job. Enthusiastic and engaging, the kids give it their best.
I get a little concerned sometimes that maybe Tristan is a bit shy in public and Seth is a bit overly excitable. But a friend reassured me that they are doing just fine. Apparently when Tristans class has questions and answer time the teachers say "who knows the answer to such and such....anyone may answer except Tristan....we know he already knows all the answers!"
Oh help. Little Mr. Smartie Pants. He's listening alright!
Yesterday was the year end picnic in Taber Park, and you couldn't have asked for a nicer day for a picnic! They had been told the week before there was going to be hotdogs and chips for lunch...so the boys were pretty thrilled. Seth graduated with the rest of the 5/6 year olds who will not be going back in the fall due to bigger things, like grade one. They received a Bible which was exciting.
