Treasure Hunt

The Village of Intercourse has a Children's Christmas Treasure Hunt every year that we

really enjoy.

We begin at the Best Western Hotel by decorating bags and receiving a map to find the hidden treasures around town.

Best Western also had Cookies 🍪.....

and a really fun tractor/wagon ride! 

Solve the riddle and you can get a treasure!

About 15 stores/restaurants participated...

The candy store had our treasure, chocolate lollipops, decorating a tree.

Making gingerbread men at Kitchen Kettle Village.

Kens Gardens does a neat train display.

We also like to visit Kings Homestead.  It is a really neat shop that also has a fish farm.
Mom gave each kid a quarter to feed the fish.  Everyone (except Benjamin) went running to the fish food machine. Benjamin was a little confused...he went up to the water and threw his quarter right in! David was trying to convince Mommy he could jump in and get it because he saw it at the bottom.
Oh, how the little kiddos keep us laughing... lol

Journey with our Prophet

Every year our club tries to have a public speaking event.  Our evaluator requires public speaking, so it looks great in our portfolios.   We chose the theme of "Journey With Our Prophet" across the United States.  Everyone was to choose a state and mention anything Bro. Branham did/mentioned/preached in that state and also any interesting facts that would make you want to visit.  Sort of like being a travel agent but also encouraging the Message. 

We invited our whole church and enjoyed state themed refreshments at the end together.

We began the evening by singing Malachi 4:5-6.

Then we sang all 50 states and their capitals to the tune of Yankee Doodle.

It was quite amazing to hear the little ones.  Even Benjamin can sing it!

Welcome to the 2016 Public Speaking Event

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.  Malachi 4:5-6
