Not even a tropical storm warning could keep folks away from out annual celebration of Children’s Sabbath on Sunday, October 19. Our congregation’s talented children had been practicing their music and acting for weeks, so they were ready with enthusiastic performances during both morning worship services. They also provided ushers, readers, and communion assistants.
The highlight of the morning was the children’s skit which served as both children’s conversation and sermon. Under the direction of Georgine Stark, they retold the Gospel story when Jesus was asked whether it was OK to pay taxes to the emperor.
In keeping with our program of year-round stewardship, Linda Miller offered a Temple Talk emphasizing our congregation’s commitment to stewardship of our keiki (children) and our thanks to our children for participating enthusiastically in our Sunday School and youth programs.
Below is a slideshow with photos of some of the ways our children offered their talents.
