CHILDREN'S SUMMER MUSICAL 2009

Are We There Yet?  The Story of Moses and the Exodus

On Monday, June 22, thirty-one children, their parents and approximately ten “guides” embarked on a musical journey through the book of Exodus.  We sang songs, memorized dialogue and learned choreography.  We painted sets, made jewelry, assembled crafts, deciphered codes and looked in the Bible for answers to important questions.  In the process we learned how God used Moses to bring the Children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt, how they crossed the Red Sea when fleeing the Egyptians, and how God directed them to Mount Sinai where they received the Ten Commandments.  We learned the Ten Commandments and we talked about how God still goes with us on our journey of life.  How God loves us, forgives us and will always go with us.

Thanks to all the parents who made it possible for their children to take the trip with us.  Thanks to Ruth Smith, Tiffani Paynter and Emily Duff for helping with scenery, costumes, crafts and so much more.  Thanks to Laura Battle, Kara Kascamp, Michele Gilmore, Odette Godwin.  Thanks also, to fellow “guide” David Beussman for all of his work and guidance, musical and otherwise, all week long.

We presented the result of our week-long journey in the June 28th Sunday morning worship services at 9:30 & 11:00 – the Tom Long Allen Pote musical, ARE WE THERE YET?  Please enjoy the pictures of our journey.
