That’s what happened at our morning breakfast for our Family Bible School yesterday. We knew this kick-off would be without some of our teachers. In fact, 1/2 of them would be unable to attend.
This we knew. What we didn’t know was that more new participants would want to take in the meal. And the games. And the social time. And the food. And the friends. And the introductions.
Considering we had a regular attendance of around 35 last year, when more than 50 showed up, we were surprised. Of course, the food people were prepared.
A little aside here! I’ve decided when you are put in charge of providing food, you overdo the quantity. Next week we have a Men in Kitchen potluck. Already I’m hearing that some men are planning to bring a main dish, a salad and a dessert – just in case, “the other men don’t bring anything!”
So, in the end the morning was beyond our expectations – we hadn’t even set enough tables and had to pull out more!
Next week? I get my first chance to teach my prized Grades 5-7 class – with up to 15 possibly showing up. Won’t that be fun 🙂
Wow, great start for the Fall !
