Children's Choir...Week Two

Ok, so I didn't blog about this last week because I wasn't sure what to say yet.
Now, here goes....

Several weeks ago, our minister of youth and children asked me if I would be interested in leading a children's choir at church on Wednesday nights. Sure. I've kinda wanted to do that for a few years, but didn't really know when we could do it or whatever. Will wanted to replace the Wednesday night children's activities with a choir, so off we went!
Last week was our first week and I had no idea how many children to expect or how old they would be or anything! It was kinda hard to plan!!! But we did a few songs, found one they liked, ate some snacks, and played a game. Fun.
This week, I decided we would really work on the song they liked last time. So we started working on "Rise and Shine" (or The Arky Arky Song). We want to sing it for the church in a few weeks. I love that song. Then Darlene read them a story and they had a snack. It was almost time (I thought!) for them to go, so I had them stand up and practice singing the Arky song with all of the movements and everything. Yay! Good job. But then their parents weren't coming for them. So I had to come up with something else for us to do. Enter Father Abraham. I love that song too. So much fun with the crazy movements!! And The B-I-B-L-E. And This Little Light of Mine. Ok, I was seriously ready to go at that point. =)

I took a couple of pictures during story time.
